Straightenig a tweeked 41mm Softail front end.

I took my son out to eat and he locked his front end. I told him you dont need to because we can see the Bikes from our seats. His Bike was faced the  way were going and he did not unlock his front fork and he took off dropping his Bike. We lossened his riser bolts,  straightened the bars with the trees and retightened the bolts. The bars and trees are straight with each other but the Bike does not ride straight.It looked OK to me. Should he lossen the pinch bolts on the trees and try to align things then retighten the pinch bolts? That shoulld not have bent anything. It bent his rear brake pedal, broke ball off end of his front brake lever and scratched the front pipe. Gas tank small scratch, Suggestions?
Thanks
