W140 Mirror - bent frame?

(1996 S500 Coupe)
An elderly family member used to use my mirror to help them walk between 2 cars ... so it served a good purpose.

The result is that the driver's side mirror is bent downward with the housing bent away from the car.

I tried to push the housing/mirror back up towards the mount point (the screws are tight, that's not the issue) but it pushes back down, so it really feels like something is bent.

The housing is fine and I already plan to replace the rubber seal/gasket which I've mostly pulled out.

There are a couple of mirror parts that sell on ebay and I'm not sure if either of these would help but any suggestions of what to check or advice on removing the housing to diagnose it?

Thank you!
