Default Fender question

I just noticed at some point my car has been in properly lifted or something. Because the lower quarter part of the front fender that would meet the door appears to be pulled outwards maybe a half an inch. It also looks like the bracket that the fender bolts to is tweaked/ pulled out as well. Would pounding the bracket back to its original position help pull the fender back? I'll try to post a picture later. Thanks

A Pair of vice grips and some muscle or a hammer or anything you have to bend it back into place will work

A block of wood and a hammer it is then.
