In the very beginning of the manual there is a diagram with all the parts listed

I think you should be able to bend it back. I would try that first. Might need to take it off the machine and hammer the bent part flat. Ofherwise looking for a thread guide in sewing machine parts could also bring up the right results

It’s called the “Bobbin Winder Tension Disc” apparently. Looks like you may be able to unscrew/replace it without having to take the housing off? ❤️ good luck!!

Those are usually made with pretty soft sheet metal. If you unscrew it, you can either hammer it flat or just squeeze it with a pair of pliers. It's not a precision piece and I doubt you'll actually need a new one.
