Default what did I bend?

I slightly "Crunched" my front bumper this past weekend. I ran into the corner of a garage going up hill because I thought I was farther away, dumbass I am. I slightly hit the corner, now the gap between my parklamps and bumper cap is about a half inch to an inch more on my driver side than it is on my passenger side. I do not know if I bent the bumper, or just a bracket or two. It seems to me I may have just slightly bent a bracket on the passenger side of the bumper, but I have yet to check it out, anyone have a clue as to what may have happened?

P.S. sorry I don't have pics

if the bumper sags to the driver side, take the grille off and unbolt the bumper, the bumper brackets pivot to keep from twisting the bumper, losing the pivot bolt and straighten it to where it needs to go, and then put the bumper back on, you may be able to do it without taking the bumper completely off, i wrecked my truck the first month i had it and all it did was push the bumper down on one side and thats how i fixed mine...i have a 06 gmc but it should be the same for a 06 chevy
