I got a flat...in the rain, and when I went to jack up the car, I saw a tab right below the a-pillar, right behind the wheelwell, on my CRX and my 240sx this was the jack point...apparently not on the 5.0 [Mad]

The fender is bent out now an sticking away from the body, about an inch.
did i just mess up the fender or is there a mounting point I bent?

Like he said pics would be the best. I do know that Les Schwabs did that to my car too. All I can say is I was yelling a screaming and cussing out anybody that was in front of me. Long story for another time. My paint is kinda custom so I didn't want to re shoot it. What I did was loosen the bottom fender screws, the middles ones in the door jam and had some friends push in the middle as I tightened the screws. I actually played with it some more after that and got it to line back up pretty well. I would try that out first. You might be able to push it back. But mine wasn't cresed or had any marks from it so I got real lucky.

the fender is rusty anyway, what im worried about is the mounting point, its sticking up right where the moulding is

yeah try to re-adjust the with the mounting screws that I told you about. Thats about how mine looked. You should be able to get it pretty close.
