A few photos; the bolt and its designed place seem to have took a hit im seeing the gap but thats also my brain into extreme checking mode

Hi all, New to the forum, owner of an 2019 superb - 2.0TDI I’ve recently hit a pothole at around 15-20 km/h, however, due to the shock compresing at the wrong moment, and low ground clearance (16”inch winters”), I’ve had a quite lound impact, at fist i tought i hit the right underside of the vehicle. Upon inspection i’ve seen that the right underside of the bumber took the impact - impact energy traveled up to the grill, headlights and hood. On the spot the headlights became foggy (this never happened before) and from this i understood that the front of the car compressed and the headlights air recirculating valve’s had opened too much. Headlights are ok now with no foggines, howener I can see a change in the front of the car geometry, the hood has a different sound when unlatching and it sits a bit taller on the right side (where the impact hit) compared to the left side. Has anyone dealt with anything similar? Could it be the bumper brackets slightly twisting during the impact, damaging the hood latch and alligned due to the energy of the impact? Sidenote: 16” are comfortable overall, but the suspension is way to soft and the front ground clerance is small. Would not advise
