Default RE: Down Elevater to fly level?

Ok guys, I think I found the problem. I guess when that tree reached out and grabbed me it did more damage than I realized.
Just before I was getting ready to check the CG I noticed while looking at the left side of the plane, the stab looked like it had very little down elevator. I then looked at the elevators from the rear and there it was... The right side was down a lot lower than the left. I know it wasn't like that before the tree and I didn't feel any play and both felt tight. So is it possible that the elavator joiner bar got bent without causing any damage to the elevators?
Now, How do I fix this problem?
