The C-light circuit is always "HOT", and the door and dash switches turn the light on by providing the GROUND for the circuit.

Chances are the wire that goes to the switches has become pinched or otherwise grounded when you bumped the light.

Take it loose and find the "short to ground" tape it up and you will be good to go. it is likely pinched under the light housing.
