I do not haowever assume that the wrinkles are a direct indicator of the heavy landing, that could have been the wires could it not? Those panels I suspect are not load bearing and are simply panels.
I dont agree. These wrinkles were not formed by the wires. It comes from the compression between the aft crosstube vs. tailboom. This part of the airframe is constructed from riveted aluminium sheets.
