Aft Bulkhead Bent in Shipping

Today I received a replacement Center Section Aft Bulkhead (F-01204D-1) as I could not locate the original in my shop. I’m thinking I never received it and counted the FF-01204 twice as this part doesn’t look familiar. The new part was damaged in shipping (see attached photos) and I am looking for guidance on this parts viability, given the bend. I’m inclined to not try and straighten and obtain another (long lead time). What say the masses?

Since you are thinking of ordering, go ahead and straighten. If there isn’t a crease and just a bend, I think you have a decent chance of fixing. If if doesn’t straighten properly, order another as you originally thought of doing.
