bent push rod, other damage?

While putting the rocker assembly together on the #6 cylinder on my truck the 2nd to last push rod didnt fall all the way into place. While tightening the head bolt it bent the push rod. do you guys think I damaged anything else? I found this out because the motor wouldnt turn over to adjust the valves so I checked the pushroda.

I think the push rod is probably the weak link and doubt you really damaged anything else but get more oppinions don't just take my word for it.
