Yep looks like the aerolites have bent. You'll have a weak spot there that may compromise strength of the spoke and will pop at some point or another.

I'd be checking the wheel is true (hold a plastic tyre lever 1mm from the rim, use the seat stay for stability, and spin). It should wobble side to side, but it may not (i had ER1600 that was missing 1 spoke and still span <1mm tolerance).

There's also a minor risk the rim is buckled, maybe tiny ovalisation of the rim shape itself.

You're best off having a wheel builder replace the spokes and check tolerances accross the wheel. Also avoiding pot holes helps haha
