You pulled the damper outer ring back straight again when you pulled on it by hand during removal or helping it off with a prybar and pushing on the outer ring at that time.
Put the damper hub back in your vice, if you pull hard enough on the outer ring you can probably pull it off by hand, or at least easily move it with a small pry bar. She's wore out my friend !
sadly the outer ring is fixed hard to the inner ring , no movement what so ever , Used a puller to get it off and didnt touch the outer. The only thing offset on the damper is the rubber. Let see what I find tonight
