Hard to tell if it's bent/warped, or just sitting at a funny angle due to the cable being so slack. A close-up of that part would help. But I get the sense, as mentioned above, that getting the slack out of the cable will make the hub operational again.

You might be glad to know the old-school crimped ends are also still available: Sturmey Archer (Bofix) Brass press nipple. I will be using some of them on a build of mine soon with a bit of solder.
Nice, half a quid to buy, and probably half a day's pay to ship it over. Still good to know about, inspires me to search for it, or an equivalent, "over here".
