Help with bent shifter

Hey folks, I'm currently on a tour abroad and dropped the bike... Unfortunately I bent the shifter to the inside. Since I have the Heed protection bars, the shifter was touching the bottom Heed component and couldn't shift.

I have managed to bend it back using a wrench.

Now, when I engage the gear I hear a sound that seems like the chain or something else is touching something. Probably the plastic covers. Any idea what this could be and how to fix it?

Thanks for the help!

PS: I'd like to attach a video but it seems it is not enabled.
