Do you mean the inverted square-U shaped ss piece of the tabernacle? Or do you mean the cabin's roof is also caved in?

If you mean only the inverted square-U shaped ss part of the tabernacle, it's probably lacking some aluminum spacers. These are like a stack of washers with a countersunk hole on the bottom surface and the bolt went through the spacer, then up through the inverted-U plate, then into the base of the mast.

I suggest you take it to a metal forming shop, have them straighten it, and then put a block of wood of the right thickness between the upper and lower plates of the tabernacle to keep this from happening again.

Alternatively, you could do something with metal but the block of wood will be the easiest to do.
