So my donor subframe isn’t in the best shape

Are these two slightly bent parts structurally integral and/or critical to mounting the powertrain to the subframe or mounting the subframe to the chassis? Thinking I may be able to hammer them back into place but don’t want to do something janky on a critical stress point

Those are the radiator mount tabs; not important to the Goblin; I cut mine off. The official instructions say to install the ambient temperature sensor on one of them though.

Condition wise, not that different than mine. I had mine sandblasted and powder coated and it turned out great. As stated, the bent parts aren't really needed. You can zip tie the temperature sensor to the frame if it tabs are too damaged.

I believe somewhere says you can attach the tubes for the parking brakes to those but I didn't even do that.
I recently replaced my subframe with a hitch on the new one and still cut all signs of the brackets off.
