rear ended a car. Help!!!

I was comming to a stop where ABS kicked with me not expecting it to. so i hit a Ford Escape. We had a snow storm here. w/e long story short. I have bent hood by the grille which i am not worried about. What i am worried about is that my passenger headlight is not exactly straight. the bottom part of it is in more then the other side. I looked at the bar that the two top screws attach too and it is fine. Now what else holds it except the clip in the fender. It also pops out of the clips when i push it in. I hope that i am being clear. THnak you for your input.

There's a rod that goes into the fender on the outside edge of the headlight, as well as a 1" thick tab that locks the bottom into place. If the top pieces aren't cracked (lucky they're very prone to doing so) then it's either the bottom mounts or your messed up hood/bumper is just making it look like the headlight is in a different position.
