So, you are suggesting that the yellow bit is the bit damaged in the photo??
Really??
Give me strength ...
Look again at the photo of the damage, and then at the photo linked in post #83.
Mr Boeing has helpfully provided those 4 static wicks on the outboard stabilizer (not the elevator) to help any of us with depth perception issues.
If that's not enough, read the CIAIAC report with its 4 references to the stabiliser being struck/damaged.
