Review this guide: Replace the LOGO Baffle on the screen with the MacBook Pro 15 "Touch Bar 2017 logo. You’ll need to order the plate from eBay Front Glass Bezel LCD Logo Cover Trim MacBook Pro 15"

OK, Thats not good ;-{

The chin plate covers the edge of the LDC panel’s fragile contacts. Your LCD panel is also damaged! You can’t do anything to fix it other than replace it. Unlike the older models this series as the T-CON board mounted in the main case so more lines are needed to move data from the case to the lid as you can see here:

OK, thats a different issue! This only addresses the chin plate damage.

@Lars Ulmer - It could! The ribbon cables are just behind the plate so they could become damaged. Review the images in this guide Replace the LOGO Baffle on the screen with the MacBook Pro 15 "Touch Bar 2017 logo

There are ribbon cables connected to the screen that hide behind that small chin bezel. When you smashed the bezel in you must have hit one of those cables…
