A block of radiator fins are jutting out of the radiator. Should I leave it alone or try to push it in or get it repaired?

If you are not losing any coolant or experiencing running hot you could leave it for a while, but having it repaired would be wise in my opinion.

super potato pic... I can't even see what that is... take a pic further away and post using a real image sharing service that doesn't really jack up the pic quality, such as google photos, photobucket, or imgur... close up pics doesn't always help us see what what we're looking at and fails to provide context

Thank you Flagrum and TheMan for your suggestion. I was thinking of pushing the block of fins back to the radiator using a broom stick. What do you think? An uncropped photo is below.

I tried to post from Google drive but it did not get posted. Anyway, I am going to leave it alone because the car is not losing any coolant or running hot. Thank you for your comments. Can you please help me with the brake issue I posted under Brake Thread section?
