Sway bar issue

Took a trip this weekend and when I got there, I couldn’t get one sway bar off at first because the bracket had shifted and bent the L pin. I was able to kick the bar and released the tension enough I could pull the pin and get the bar off. I loosened the bolts and put the bracket back to where it looked like it was and tightened everything down best I could.

It seemed to hold on the trip back but I did notice when I went to take them off, there was tension on both L pins and they both appeared to be a little bent, which would indicate some pretty good outward pressure from the bar. Is this normal or something I need to do something about.

I attached a picture of the initial bracket issue that I believe I fixed and also two pictures of the L pin before I pulled it tonight. You can see the top is bent a little out and the bars have pressure on it, not up against the bracket.
