My mother used my charger wire and tried charging her phone's now faulty charger fault. Of course being ruled by emotion, she tried forcing the metallic USB-C into the port and it bent, becoming loose when plugged on my phone. How do I fix it if replacing it is secondary?

You can try to gently straighten it with a pair of pliers but you then risk crushing the plug or maybe even causing a short.
Usb charging cables are cheap, even quality ones. I wouldn't bother trying to fix it.

I agree with rvbfan -- I wouldn't risk possible damage to your phone by using that cable.

Which device? Does it have wireless charging?

A Huawei phone. As I recalled before, its screen was shattered and its charger port faulty. She had them replaced with a counterfeit LCD and fake new port. Of course, these didn't last, and she broke my charger USB C just to force the charger in.
