lug nuts shouldn't cause this. loose lug nuts will make for a very floaty uncontrollable feeling, usually very quickly followed by grinding sounds as the brake calipers get machined by the insides of the wheels. been there

looking at your pictures:


the metal brace leading up to the core support on top(where the washer fluid bottle mounts), as well as the brace directly in front of the wheel both show bending damage from the impact, along with the front metal bumper creasing on the edges, but you don't reference any repairs made to those components. i had a wreck like that once, the other driver was going 10-15mph. took way more than the components you listed to properly repair...

from those pictures, i'd definitely check the frame for squareness, and both go over the entire front-left suspension components, potentially even just outright replacing most of anything in the left-front just to make myself feel better--because if i can't trust the repair, i can't drive the car, and if i can't drive the car, there's no reason to keep it.
