looking at that photo, I'm now not sue that the actuator is damaged.
BUT what you have is wacked the diff real hard and the seat / seal into the diff is damaged.
(the actuator is the part with the corrugated boot, but it splits from the diff about 1" away from that seal via a pin, that connects the forked actuator to the diff (via the pin)
the damaged seal is a worry as the actuator will not be able to engage, and I have not sourced that part, nor able to remember anyone else having damaged that part on the diff.
Wreckers will usually sell a actuator, but that seal..... might have to buy the whole diff (sometimes cheaper than labour and parts at a mechanic and MMA stealer prices)
also check the wires to the diff switch, as they can sometimes be damaged/ ripped off.
