Default headlight bezzle bent, how to fix?

alright so this is pretty well the #1 part of the car that pisses me off...
seams as if the previous owner has a little fender bender at the passengar side headlight, causing it now to sit in and crewked a little bit.

how would you fix this?
i have a donor car that i would be able to cut the same peice off of, but i want to know if this would be the most suggested fix.

hopefully you can see where it is bent.

tkae the head light out and either put SLIGHT weight on it so it bends back into place

or you can get yourself a block (its a piece of metal they use to hold behind the metal they are hitting with a hammer))

and then hit the metal with a hammer (your dont have to kill it just nice and easy)

while having the block underneath it and moving around until it is level

if your confused let me knwo
