Presumably, it was to back up towards the baggage door, which is on the rear left of the plane. The wing should be visible out the driver’s window/mirror.
the canard-thing though is aft of the baggage door and in the trucks left, harder to see.
was it the canard thing that was damaged and not the wing?

For aviation people a "canard wing" is a lifting device 'forward' of the mainplane not aft of it...
