What is the ralationship between radiator and condenser

My car hit something on the highway few months ago, resulting in a deformed condenser. Fortunately, AC still works well.

Something is broken under my radiator or condenser (plastic thing with a rubber cushion, one for each side, toyota part#5329306010). I guess it's a radiator support, but i am not sure.

Somebody can give me some hints about the ralative position of the radiator and condenser.
Also the ways they are supported?

Is the above a dumb question?

I hit a piece of junk on the highway. When i stand right in front of my car, and see from under the bumper, i can see that piece of metal thing with lots of pleat deformed. Is that a radiator or condenser? I thought it is radiator, because apparently that's where i pour my antifreeze in. But after some reading, i am alittle confused. when the heynes manual (or that PDF shop manual) describes the AC system, i find the condenser is so similar to radiator.

Since now when i hit a bump or something, there is something moving under the hood. I think this is related to that piece of plastic thing with a rubber cushion under each lower corner of my radiator (or condenser) was broken (i have the broken parts).

What is that plastic thing with a rubber cushion?
what is that support for radiator, or condenser?
