98 top issue. Bent parts?

Hey guys, the other day I put the top down to go for a drive, after I tried closing it only one side was going up so I brought it back home to check it out. Seems like the right side that popped off the plastic ball socket has cracked. When looking further I noticed the v arm/boomerang or whatever it’s called was bent on the side that goes to the clamshell. I decided to order a used one that wasn’t bent online but once I tried to install it I noticed the shock that goes to the clamshell wouldn’t line up with it on that side. Im going to assume the v piece shouldn’t be bent correct? If so why won’t it now line up with everything else? Both transmissions are lined up together at the marks.

Also while checking the transmissions the right side that is having an issue almost doesn’t seem as flush as the left side but everything is tight. Could the metal frame the transmission is bolted to have bent?
