Sorry to here of the brake issues... They did come from the bike being sideways?
I can see the bracket being bent, especially if the mechanic said it was rotated, but the only damage i can see to the caliper is the pin holes (caliper to bracket bolts) being oblonged from the exhaust pushing in (anybody correct me if they see how please
). The gold/brass piece is actually the brake pad backing and it being bent will prevent it from sliding properly (which would cause premature wear). I again can't see how it got bent, but it is never-the-less.
Keep posted on what your figuring out.
