Default Raptor steering question.....HELP!!!!!

have a problem guys , had a small accident and hit a tree doing about 15mph front bumper took most of the impact , It didn't feel like i hit the tree that hard but the right wheel skimmed the tree also. now i notice that when the handle bars are pointed straight the wheels are turned to the right., when i make the wheels straight the bars are pointed to the left, i checked everything as for any damage and there is nothing visable it is almost like my bars moved somehow could this happen? What could be wrong? is there a way i could straighten the bars? What is under the plastic cap under the handlebars is there a nut under there that could have gotten loose? please help i am sick about this and would rather fix it myself if i can thanks guys.

You could just set the handle bars so they are straight, and then adjust the tie rods until the wheels are straight as well.
