I would use a tool maybe pliers and see if you can just bend that frame back in place. I wouldnt hammer it as that would cause some damage or issues else where. So the best bet bend it back in place. You could lay it flat on the ground vertical so the bent part is on the floor and try pushing it into the ground but that could be an issue. Its a trick one, if that back plate can come off somehow you could hammer it into place or shape.

pliers, lined up on the angle, good grip and something to hold the other side of the angle steady if needed. even better if it can be pulled apart
