Again, all of this assumes that that is the problem, but, if it is, it could be that the headlight mounting has also been pushed out of position, but, even if that is the case, the repair should still be relatively minor.

I say all of this while fully accepting the likelihood that my diagnosis/guess from afar as to what the problem is might be entirely incorrect.
I will definitely take what your saying seriously. But my dad bought this car for me so first I'm gonna let him deal with the salesperson tomorrow to see what he says.

Are you (or your father) planning to get an assessment from a body shop before going to talk with the salesperson? If the dealership has already denied that there is anything "not normal" with your car, I can't imagine that they would be likely to change that assertion now unless they are forced to do so because you are armed with information from a body shop that gives them no choice except to back off on their assertion that there is nothing wrong. I also think that you are more likely to get help from someone higher up in the dealership, like a general manager or owner, than you would be with a salesperson.

Before we go I'll stop at a shop and then we'll go from there
