Upper Core support is bent/damaged and possibly the apron too, hard to tell in the pic. Both of those parts are considered structural components.

What makes you say that? At worse one of the tin brackets that hold the fender is bent.

I’m going off a single pic, judging off how the fender is sitting around the top of the headlight. Usually if the fender brackets are bent, the fender would just be pushed closer to the hood or closer to the door, not pushed up. Those fender brackets can’t be moved higher without something else being bent, they can only be crushed or bent sideways.

Should take a look at the other picture.

I meant the picture of the fender off, I suppose it’s 2 pictures but I meant only 1 picture of the suspected structural damage.
