Default steering wheel alignment

My wife recently glanced her car off a curb avoiding a cat that ran in front of her.

The steering wheel was about 45 degress of where it should be lined up , she damaged a rear tie rod and of course the rims. The back was damaged as she adjusted after glancing off the curb and slammed the back wheel inot the curb.

After 3 weeks we got the car back and it just doent feel the same. Also the steering wheel is just fractionally off centered (less than 1/8 onch probably) which is annoying to say the least.

The dealer says there is a little play which is normal and that they cant perfectly center the wheel. To me thats sounds like BS and Im wondering if there is possible additional damage done in the front steering they havent fixed.

The car also has the 30 package which is very stiff and sensitive.

Any ideas?
