This can be rectified easily as said above by releasing the shock clamp and adjusting the strut, but the problem is that stop pin on the strut has been sheared off. Therefore you wont be able to perfectly align the strut with the pin broken.
I suggest you replace the strut.
You guys are actually all correct. The issue was found the following business day that the shop was open and its set for repairs now. Should have it by Tuesday as long as no additional damage is found after the strut replacement and alignment. Will be paying out of pocket as to not raise my insurance premiums due to them counting it as collision!
