This is the mounting bracket for one side of the landing gear. Remember, the fuselage is upside down.
Yeah, ugly!

This will be a bit of a challenge. The metal is torn, and will probably have to be replaced (maybe just the left half of the bracket). The bracket is welded into the frame where lots of tubes are joined. Originally, holes in the bracket allowed the tubes to be inserted into the bracket, then the whole joint was welded. It will probably take quite a bit of fabrication (new bracket) and disassembly to make it suitable for reassembly and welding.
Center landing bracket.
This bracket resides between the other two. It is bent, and will need some straightening. Maybe some heat from a gas torch will help.
