Post Truck bed alignment

Today while washing my truck i noticed my bed has more of a gap on the passenger side than the driver side. I was wondering how i could fx this. Also the front of the bed is slightly bent like something heavy slammed into it. any suggestions??

Thanks!

loosen your bed bolts, adjust the bed to where it need to be, as long as the gap is not too far off, retighten the bed bolts, I did it with my truck.
