Unhappy Need help, hit back bumper :(.

Hi! I'm still pretty new to this forum so please excuse me if i post this in the wrong section:

I have a Ford Mustang 2005 V6.

I accidentally hit my rear bumper driving through my university campus, when i made a right turn i heard a big THUMP and i checked it. I'm just curious on what kind of damage i have caused. My bumper took the hit yes, I just want to make sure before winter if I should do anything about it. I'm guessing from the picture it looks a bit misaligned after. So my BIG question is Is there anything underneath the mustang on the rear bumper right side end that I should look for( any important parts that MIGHT be damaged by hitting the rear bumper)?

Just wondering. My friend told me its just the bumper that got moved a little bit. And here:

Here is the side that got hit: Its from the back of the car on the right

Here is the perfect aligned one back of the car on the left:

What are some of the concerns that I might stumble upon? I checked beneath it and see nothing out of place.

Any advice or suggestion will help! Thank you for looking!

It's hard to tell from your pictures but it looks like you just pulled the bumper a little and that the tabs just need to be snapped back in place. But with a close up like you did it is simply too difficult to get a complete idea.

Probably just popped the retaining tabs out of place. Should be able to push them back in

Mine is the same way, same side, was like that when I got it. I push it back in, it
snaps in, then pops back out. I have to push hard, else it won't even move, so there
is tension on it from somewhere, that keeps pulling it back out. I will get to it one
day...

that's minor.
99.9% sure there's no damage
(except the scratches, which are also minor)

damn lol. Alright, I'll just take it off after winter. I figured it wouldn't damage anything just the alignment gonna be need to be realigned between the bumper and the main body of the car.
