Did i bend the nun or what?

Sorry no pics just yet, will get some on later today. But over the weekend hit a rock in a cross ditch and snapped the bumper and the ski bent back pretty well. Everything looked fine, replaced the bumper last night and noticed the clutch cover panel didn't fit quite right. On closer inspection saw that where the uppper A arm is bolted to the front of the sled was bent back about an 1/8". Can't see any other ripples, kinks or bends and trust me i was looking everywhere!!
So did i just sign myself up for a day of rivet removal or could i press that part back?
Oh its an 07xrs
thanks

Ya got all summer to fix it

ride it till the end, sounds like ya may have bent it a smidge, but doesn't sound structural!!!

Don't fix what ain't Broke

here's a couple of pics. 1st one is the upper a arm where it connects to the front of the sled. 2nd is the gap i now have on the side panel. 3rd is a bend by the clutch cover.
No other signs of any crinkles or whatnot. SO just keep riding it like i stole it or see if i can straighten then brace it up???
thanks guys

lots of times when see them bent behind the primary. Pull it off and look right there inline with the clutch about an inch down. Good luck
