What I'm seeing if the HYD itself is okay, simple fixez for both the non-vertical mount and head out of tube.
At some previous point, jack suffered contact, shearing or pulling the lower clamp pin and bending both clamps ears. Jack being non vertical wasnt working-testing luck, putting a lot of stress on camper corner, Lucky hadnt tore free.
If clamps could be had I'd replace, possibly adding 3rd in middle. If not, top one could be easily be straightened. Lower one might take less bending by flipping it. Reinstall locating pins.
The top though needs to be done first. I assume that bolt was supposed to be in what looks like slot, if it was a hole awfully close to edge. But if it was made as slot simple loosen and drive head back on, re-bolt. If the slot was indeed a hole that has broke out- disassemble. Rotate the tube 90° (if mechanics allow) drill new hole(s). Then address clamps.
Or following Camper8251s link then to Parts, new outer tube $82, fix hole, but I didnt see the clamps anywhere- as they are pinned maybe part of tube? Might solve all. I'd contact R/T to find out about clamps
