Hi all, tipped to the side on a rental bike whilst going up a very steep incline at low speed. When I picked myself and the bike up and tried to pedal (I was in lowest gear before the fall) the chain was pushed over the biggest cog to between the spokes and the cog. I had to pull the derailleur towards me, away from the bike, with some force to get the chain back onto the cog.
Now when I shift at the lowest gears one is skipped, and if I attempt the lowest gear we’re back between the spokes and cog again.
Can anyone help? Something looks amiss in the photos to me but I’m new to this. Thanks all.

Derailleur hanger is bent, you need a hanger alignment gauge to straighten it.
