Need Help figuring what’s bent in my rear end...

So about two weeks ago I let my brother use my 84 Rx7 and he ended up hitting a curb and bending what I thought was just and axle flange. I bought a new axle and when I put everything together and drove the car I still have a wobble. Btw I got a new wheel and tire for that side.

Was replacement axle new or used? What kind of wheel,aftermarket,is it new? Is it possible if used these parts are not true. Swap wheels from side to side and with car on jack stands,put in gear and observe while tires spin for runout/wobble.

I used an axle from a diff I bought some time ago and the wheels are aftermarket and new. I did swap the wheels with the car on stands and they both wobbled which is why I’m confused on where the bend is

Doesn't make sense. Have wheels spun on spin balancer to see if THEY have runout issues. What model is this,drum/disc rear?
