GF ran over median. Smooshed front jack point.

Hey everyone.

Long story short, she drove over the median at an intersection head on.
Surprisingly the bumper somehow didn't get hurt but she did some pretty bad damage to the part that is the front jack point.

Seems this is connected to the hood latch above because now the hood latches but has enough play I'm scared to drive on the highway.

She also demolished the large metal plate protecting the catalytic converter and oilpan.
I had to get a new one. The catalytic converter itself has a big dent in it but nothing is rattling inside.

I took a look and the best way I can describe it is that the jack point is smooshed up.

Please see the image here: https://i.imgur.com/hqgqJsX.png

So my question is kinda... what would you guys do?
I've already jacked it up by that point since and it SEEMS strong still.

My friend says my options are basically have a body shop try and pull that part down again to fix the hood issue. Or else see if they can get a new one and spot weld it (wouldn't fix the hood problem though).

I don't even really know what to call that part. I just call it jack point but it's spot welded to the body itself it seems.

Just looking for some advice guys. Thank yoU!
