Ok, so you’re aware it’s twisted because you only ramped up the front wheel.
It won’t hurt anything, frames are designed to twist within their elastic range. That’s why truck beds are separate from the cab. So stuff like this or off roading doesn’t buckle sheet metal.

That said, there were many times with our TC, I’d just pull one front or back wheel onto blocks to level up “good enough” for a night or weekend and not an issue.
