Clunk from Front Wheel

Clunk from Front Wheel
Alright, so when going over small bumps/ potholes, or any other kind of thing to cause the front end of the car to bounce a little. I hear a loud knocking from the front passenger side wheel well. It only clunks/knocks when the suspension isn't flat. I got in a small accident the other day, but I'm positive the accident that happened on that side is only cosmetic to the fender. What I'm thinking is, is when I hit the curb on my left (driver side) that may have did something.
I can look under the car/ above the tires and it almost looks like the drivers side spring is more "set in" and it looks like the passenger side spring might be hitting the top of the wheel well because it's not tucked behind correctly? Almost like hitting the curb shifted it all to the right or something...
Any insight would be much appreciated.

Hey, I didn't take pics cause it was dark, but I did anyway and it looks like I can still see it.
Drivers side (good/ no clunking)
Drivers side Again
Passenger side
Passenger side again
It's apparent to me (now) that the spring is hitting that plastic guard thing. When it gets light I'll see if the plastic guard moves or not. But if not, what would cause this to happen? Thanks...

Does the car still drive correctly? Does it track straight and not make noises or clunks turning? When you go over bumps does it deflect the same on both sides? It could be the fender liner bending in or it could be knocked out of alignment.
