Hi Bryan,
A used 6D body in EX+ condition is about $519, so repairing the one you have may not be a great value proposition considering its age. I don't know how important photography is for you. If this were me, I might look at this as an upgrade opportunity. I don't expect others to share these same feelings or they could have other priorities or commitments.
I can't really tell from your image how bad the damage is. It really depends. If you want your camera repaired, working quickly, and have a repair warranty, then Canon is the way to go. A local camera repair shop might also be an option. If you feel inclined to take it apart and believe you can fix it, you can try, but we hear from users regularly who thought they could and ended up in a worse position that when they started. At that point no one wants to touch the camera. I'm all for DIY, and if I need to fix the roof, install a water heater, repair electrical wiring, plumbing, build or repair a PC/Mac, turn a wrench on my Subaru's... or anything else my wife decides is my job 🤣, I'll do it, BUT when it comes to a camera or lens... >>> here you go Canon. I hope whatever you decide it works out.
