After further inspection it appears that the chassis is bent around the first preamp tube. I am not sure if this will cause any issues getting it into the cabinet or will cause the tube socket not to sit properly. Should I try to bend it back, I am afraid that will cause more damage.

That doesn't look bad at all, so I would try to bend it back. If that causes a problem, contact sales@buildyourownclone.com and I'm sure they would take care of you. I am assuming of course that it arrived that way.

Yeah one of the turrents was bent too, USPS must have thrown it around pretty good. I will put a cloth over it and try to gently bend it back.

That's "turret", no "n". And they're just solder contact points for components and wires, so if one is a bit bent, it's no big deal. If it's broken or bent to the point of touching another turret, that's a different story.
