Question 2012 GL450 went hard over a curb

Hi guys - hope to get some opinions on this issue.

Was driving today and turning right into a parking lot - and hit the curb really bad. I was coming on slowly - but was distracted for a bit and didn't realize the darn turn had that extra portion of the of the parking lot jutting out.
To not hit the curb - it would have required me to make a wider turn into the lot - just didn't see it and went over it. Car bounced up and just dropped.

My husband drove it home after that - didn't notice any abnormal. Now - hours later I see the right backside is dropped lower than the left side. ( will post a pic later - just noticed it).

What could possibly be damaged ?

That rear air bag or the height sensor on the side you hit come to mind.

If you have air suspension, this is the place to start looking, agree with the previous comment. Are there any warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel?
