Looks like it could be carefully bent back a little. Hopefully tps sensor and throttle cable bracket are good

I would be worried about the aluminum getting brittle and breaking off. Definitely wouldn't want a chunk getting sucked in that charger.

Aluminum is really brittle so it wouldn't survive being bent back. UPS is real tough to get someone on the phone
