Yep, very much not assembled correctly, and bent. Your pic is a good example of what it should look like.^^^This one looks bassackwards, it looks like the drivers side, looks like the bolts were swapped top and bottom, and it's bent. Not that the bent area would matter much flipped back around, I would take a ball peen and hammer the bent section flat, and put it back on with the bolts properly oriented. You run the risk of losing the gate off the back of the truck if both straps are missing.
