no don't try that.
Don't pinch the fender with that tool it will only work one section at the time and might dent the lip.
Tape up the lip. Jack up your car remove the wheel. Use a 2x4 bout 4" long.
One end on the ground and hold it in position with your foot. Have the 2x4 go across the flared area and push the other end towards the car. slowly and with pulsing motion until the fender is back to its original position.
If you want to roll the fender on the inside used a fender roller.
I had the exact same issue.

I'm not a bodywork professional either but I know the difference between rolling (pinching) the inner fender lip vs. flaring a fender. The tool is just to be used for rolling the inner fender lip and not for pushing the fender back to the original shape.

You might be ok straitening out your fender as well judging by the picture.
see picture below for visualization.

Yup this is exactly what happened to mine after lowering it. That inner edge of the fender shown in the picture you posted was pushed all the way out, I took a C clamp and a tshirt (so the clamp isn’t directly on the paint) and pushed it in the best I could with it. The part that was pushed out actually ended up breaking off. Got to go get my fenders rolled and pushed out so I can go back to the ride height I really want. It’s still pretty low but not the stance I desired.
