Did the electric ebrake not work for some reason? The caliper wouldn’t bolt up?

I needed to swap rear ends to a manual parking brake rear end to run the wilwoods. Last time I talked to them they weren't planning on making a rear brake kit for the 18+ f150s. The ebrake and manual rears have different caliper mount locations so you cant swap calipers from one another.
so I figured if I'm gonna do a rear swap might as well get the stronger axle too. Also all the factory holes are still in place for the manual brake pedal and cables incase someone needs to know

It is at the joint. You can see where the axel tube has pulled maybe a 1/16" away/forward from the housing and I'm fairly sure the axel flange is bent. I was going to take the tire off to take a look at it....BUT...EVERY lug looks to be a security lug and they were nice enough to take the lug tool with them. SO, I have to go get one.
