Don't know what kind of jack you have, but I don't see holes for bolts?
The few screw that left marks were put BETWEEN the skin and the frame. They had no holding power.
Seems you had only 1 screw with solid hold and that one pulled some wood.
Most of the jacks have at least 2 bolts on each side that go on other side of the wall and end on the piece of steel there.
Look again. You can see half of the exposed bolt holes running left to right. The entire front half of the stud is gone, split right across the bolt line. There are also bolt holes going in (looking straight into the photo).
My guess is a 2001 model is going to be prohibitively expensive to repair, unless you do it yourself.
