Default How badly did I mess up?

Hi gang,

Took on a major project, with near zero knowledge & youtube videos, it's been fun, interesting & I've learned a ton. Going for a clutch & front axles replacement, in the process I did something really dumb.

I detached the wheel from the strut before trying to remove the axle bolt, this was my first mistake. Figured I needed to get the wheel on the group again to be able to get the thing off (no impact wrench), so I put the tire back on without properly fixing the wheel back onto the strut. I just whacked a couple of wood screws in there to hold it in space, that was hard to write, as it is super embarrassing!

Wheel is now, quite unsurprisingly, at a funky angle. In a space where funk is just not appropriate. I've bent something out of place, can anyone tell me what, from the attached photos? Is it something that can be fixed, or is this one of those terrible mistakes one never really recovers from? I got the axles out btw, tomorrow I continue with the clutch.

Have a good laugh! Any help?
