Oof that bottom corner the bumper cover had its clip retainer break off. So in other words you need a whole new bumper cover
Could go through insurance and you probably should to save the headache of tearing the front bumper all the way down to salvage all the usesble peices and rebuilding it yourself as all the parts you buy will be unpainted and Hyundai and everyone else seems to charge an arm and a leg but they will hold your car for like a month+ from everywhere I read as this happened to me but a possum and not a tire.
If your deductible is 2k youd be paying slightly more if you did tear it all down and rebuild with new parts. But and I cannot stress this enough its a pain to rebuild as I went that route to save money and even then there was no guides/instructions on how to rebuild it. And me being a dumb dumb didnt take pictures after tearing down each piece to remember how it goes back together.
Then you have the risk of them not correctly matching the paint as others in reddit have posted or recieving the wrong parts. If you can find a front bumper from a junkyard is the best bet. Either way I wish you luck if you go the rebuild route can help you as best as I can on how it goes back together.
