Default 960 Radiator Bent Corner

Hi all! Car repair newbie here - please bear with me if this is a silly question.

I recently cracked the radiator of my 960 on a parking block by pulling too far forward. It was damaged beyond repair, so I installed a replacement radiator only to have the same issue occur the following day. This time, the radiator didn't crack, but the corner of the aluminum frame bent slightly, allowing my coolant to dump.

I'm trying to figure out if repairing my radiator is a viable option, without having to spring for another replacement. My hope is that the metal frame can be reshaped, or the bent corner can be sealed over with a JB weld-type product, but I really don't know where to start.

Is this an issue that anyone has experience with? Any insight is much appreciated!
