Aluminum fork dropout potentially compromised - advice? I hope y’all can give me some advice. I bought a bike, had it shipped, looks great except one thing — the fork was slightly damaged in shipping. It’s carbon but the aluminum part that attaches to the quick release is narrower on the right side. See pictures comparisons of the 2 below. 

The leading edge of the Drive-side fork dropout is squashed back, the axle won't fit through the gap.

Bent dropout:


The other dropout which is fine:


The seller insisted on it being steel. The bike shop said carbon but the bottom is aluminum. Any advice would be helpful - is this severely unsafe? With how and where it’s damaged - is the fork totaled?
Fork is toast, dropout cannot be trusted or reasonably repaired. Carbon forks with steel dropouts basically don't exist. Probably best for everyone is get comped for a fork plus install labor. Shouldn't be a difficult fork to get a suitable replacement for.
