I noticed my colors change to default too and the cluster settings changed too. anyone know what the latest update is? i cant find any info on my ford pass app

Update: after like almost a week trying to fix this fk up and watching thousands of videos on bolt drilling, extraction, tapping, etc. and ordering multiple different tools, I was finally able to fix this. I tried to first drill the bolt using cobalt and titanium bits to use extractors but none...

To aftaid to do anything with it now. Might just buy replacement bolts from ford and go to a repair shop and have them remove and install. I think at this point my main concern is can I drive like this for a short while? with the amount of force I had to apply to make this go in and then get...

Can I drive on this? Is it drivable enough to take to a dealership or body shop?

I actually placed the jack there after to see if it will help align the hole. The jack was not there before.
