Rock damage on side

Oncoming truck shot a rock sideways and hit my rear quarter panel. A couple of lovely gouges. I'm confused how it did two separate marks a couple of inches apart, unless the rock was long and spinning.
The service advisor does not think it will buff out. Why did I bring it to the dealership you ask? Because while checking for damage, I noticed that there are a bunch of screws missing where the fenderwell and fender come together. On both sides. Not a happy camper right now. Toyota (or is it Subaru) initial quality not impressing me right now.

You are absolutely correct. I just learned at the dealership that those holes are to make it easier to install mudflaps. The pieces are held together by clips that you can't see from that side.
