After fiddling with the actuator, I successfully fully closed the valve. Then I fiddled with it again and it did not fully close. Note how the front rotor SSV still has a small gap, just slightly smaller.

You can see under the hood fold, the air box got pushed slightly back but removing the damaged VFAD plastic let it reseat back into place.

In this image it's not very clear, but there is no visible damage of the radiator nor AC condenser. The mounts have not shifted.

In this top-down photo with the bumper removed, you can see that the metal bracket was bent. No damage to the coolant bottle, a small crack at the bottom of the air box oval. I was going to replace all of that with an AEM/MazdaSpeed one anyways.

The plastic tray retained it's shape, and you can slightly make out the mishape.

The styrofoam energy absorber was damaged and I removed the intake sock and VFAD. The radiator air scoop is fine, just some plastic scrapes that probably where already there. I observed some prior, and it's not a problem.
