Well your not going to pull that frame tie back in to shape it will probably just tear. Biggest problem looks like you shortened the passenger side, does it still drive straight down the road or are you constantly having to make a left turn?

Since you don't know what all your dealing with yet, go for broke. Chain the rear of the Jeep to a tree, find another tree close by use a come along, chain, & sledge hammer it back into shape. Be careful of stuff flying around & letting loose.

P1899 Park/Neutral Position Switch Stuck In Park or In Gear

Could be an intermitant failure try clearing the code & see if it comes back.
