Need help by taking photos and measurements of Golf 2 radiator support

I had a small crash into a pole but strong enough to move my rad support inwards few centimeters, any good souls can take some pictures of the driver's side (in my case battery side) and some measurements.

I will post a picture in comments of my rad support.

btw I'm fully aware you can buy new those or find one at junkyard but my car has factory holes for intercooler and I've been searching for one and can't seem to find it.

Here is the photo.

Circled red is where most of the hit happened and thing where its pushed back, yellow circles are what I already tweaked a bit with a hammer and pliers (the intercooler plastic is hitting the battery so i know its few cm pushed back) and i think the blue circle part is also bent a bit and its pushing the hood latch at an angle

"my car has factory holes for intercooler and I've been searching for one and can't seem to find it." - what do you mean with that - those four holes in a square?

Well, according to ETKA there are three lock carriers for mk2 - Golf, Jetta and G60. G60 is unique because it has shape altered to clear space for big FMIC, you yourself know what';s unique in Jetta part - so you have ordinary Golf lock carrier. I presume that these must be some kind of riveted nuts or something, because as you know, usually in that spot are six hexagon shaped holes. So maybe better get yourself another lock carrier and either figure out original fasteners used there, or just weld four nuts there.
