The Mawforged Lock that you have to open is left and right of Anduin. It's pretty small so you have to try and find it.
For the turn in, use the teleport pad located at

Description
Sylvanas thinks us broken. She believes she has already won. We will show her how mistaken she is. First, I will need your help. The bonds that hold me are impossibly strong. We will need the key to free me of them. My... imprisonment here has been overseen by a creature they call the Afflictor. The key is likely in its possession.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Lion's Cage
Anduin is being kept in a place the shades call the Tremaculum. It's not far, but the way is perilous. I have tried more than once to free him from his captors, but the forces holding him are too great for me to handle alone. I'm counting on your presence to tip the scales.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An Undeserved Fate
I have seen many souls brought here during my detention. The Jailer seems to want to break them, to twist them into his service... or worse. No soul deserves such a fate, <name>. The Mawsworn here hold the keys to their chains. Free as many as you can and we'll get them away from here.
The storyline at a glance
Through the Shattered Sky has 23 steps, from Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons to Stand as One.
