Help something bent in front end cant figure it out

Hey guys new to the forum, great place so far, got a question for you guys. I was recently in an accident with my 96 camry and it took a side hit to the passenger tire. The hit has bent the top half of the tire inward. So it looks like the top half tire and wheel are tilted inward sort of like a race cars. I have replaced the strut. There was some damaged to the mounting bracket on the top with the three bolts comming out of it but no damage anywhere else as i can find. I replaced the mounting bracket. What could this problem be a control arm? axle?. Nothing seems bent except the strut is pushed inward as well so there is less clearance between it and the under fender toward the motor. Car does have alignment issue as well pulls slightly to the left. Any help would be great. lost as to where to go next.

So strut was replaced, mounting bracket as well as mounting place is straight, what else could be bent that would tilt my tire like that? Thanks in advance for your reply
