I hit a pothole pretty hard and think I may have bent my head tube, do these marks prove that? How else can I check?

Need more pics please
You appear to be showing the head tube at the top tube or at the down tube. It would take one hell of a hit to damage the head tube first. Zoom out and take more photos.

This is how the fork sits
I dont see it
Ride without hands. If it’s bent, you’ll know pretty quickly. But also, aluminum doesn’t bend there. If you have damage in that area, It would likely be in the form of a crack
