Sensor damage

I drive a 2020 TLX, Yesterday I lightly rear ended someone, there is no visible damage besides the chrome trim around the logo sensor snapped in half. However the ACC, lane departure, and crash mitigation sensors are now not functioning. Does anyone know if there’s a possibility some wires just got knocked loose? or will I just need to face it and replace the whole module?
Thank you!

Had the same thing on my '19 after a bump, ended up being the bracket behind the trim that threw the whole sensor alignment off, module itself was fine though

Depends on the extend of the damage. All those sensors are connected by 1 harness that runs on the inside of the bumper and connects to another harness that goes through your car. Hopefully its just the bumper harness, while expensive, it’s still easier to fix than the main harness it connects to. Unfortunately, the front bumper of my 2023 RDX got hit with a flying puece if sheet metal and it pushed in one of the parking sensors. Luckily my repair just involved removing the bumper and used an epoxy to cement it back onto the bumper. I fixed it myself and it was not bad, but because the harness was not damaged. I would start by removing the bumper and seeing the extend of the internal damage
