how should I proceed with collecting balance of payment due in materials provided on a project?

North CarolinaMechanics Lien

I supplied material for a project to a contractor (on April 23). The next day the contractor and owner cancelled the contract. The homeowner still used the material that dropped on the site. The contractor and homeowner are in a lawsuit now. I was paid $7500 (around June 10) of $10,906.25 by the contractor so that I could make payment on my account. I have had conversation with homeowner since the beginning of this all happening and he has been back and forth over paying for the material. I had liened the property around middle of May prior to receiving partial payment which sparked homeowner to agree to pay if I removed the lien which then his story changed after I pulled the lien. I have had a few more conversations with the homeowner and contractor, and now the lawyers on both sides seem to have both parties locked down and not communicating anything to me now. I think I need to put a lien back on the property and wanted to make sure I was filing correctly this time. thanks
