A long phillips screwdriver fits right up into that diamond-shaped opening and is a useful tool for raising creased areas of that skin.
We tried...
And tried...
And TRIED...
And tried and
tried and
tried again.
At times with such force, I wanted to say "Woah Stop!!!" But it CONTINUALLY snaps back in place. The mechanic and my instructor both have unofficially declared it "un-rebendable"

Yes, there is a crack there.
I think the aileron is supposed to have a gradual bend from about mid-span out to the wing-tip (compare it to the other aileron).
