i made a boo boo

well last night me and my boy traded wheels for the weekend, I was such in a rush i just put the jack under the front bumper and raised the car up...after we traded wheels and we put the car down, i close my hood and noticed that my hood wont close all the way down, its locking but its just not in place. I popped it back up and noticed the whole front bar where the lock is, is bent up and out ...Anyone know if i can just hammer it back down or will i have to take it to a shop to be bent back to place?
