if i were you i would put some masking tape,then rag on frame then some thin pieces of wood on both sides of drop out ,then use mole grips or pliers so if the jaws go through rag they wont scratch frame

thin layer of masking and a nice big adjustable spanner :daumenhoch:

you can adjust the jaws to hold the flat dropout properly while you tweak it back into position
