Wiskey Tango Foxtrot. Door Problem

OK, we jacked the car up on the jack to get some jack stands under it, and after working all day on the car we noticed after we set it down, that the passenger side door is out of alignment now.
There is a visible gap between the door and front fender. It looks as if the door sticks out farther than the panel.
We noticed a flange type thing close to the front wheel that has 1 bolt in it, that is bent back and up.
The only thing we can think of that happened is the jack crushed this thing up and that threw the door or the fender out of alignment.

Any ideas?
Is this an easy fix or am i screwed?

You jacked it up underneath the fender mount and crushed the fender up. Take the bottom of the fender apart and use a huge crescent wrench and reposition the mount and then do the same to the fender. Have fun and next time jack from the K member.
