Official No Stupid Questions Thread II

Hey guys/gals, so the unthinkable happened the other day, I was messing around with the strap on my fender strat while playing and it came undone and fell to the floor, rather violently. There was only a chip in the body/paint, and no other cracks seem apparent after some inspecting. The headstock never really hit the ground, the body of the guitar took most of the impact. However after retuning it, I noticed that after a bend of almost any string, that string would go out of tune. I noticed that the square bits on the bridge that you feed the string through are no longer flush with the actual body of the guitar. I tried pressing them back down with my fingers but it seems like I’d have to press pretty hard, and I’m worried about causing further damage. If you guys could let me know if I could fix this problem myself or if I should just get it taken in to be looked at by a professional. I’m thinking if I just take off all the strings, the square bits will just fall back down flush with the body and restringing it will do the trick. Thanks for your time to read this post, people, it’s appreciated.
