Looks like a hinge my friend. Id heat that up and make it match before its too late.

Yeah lower limb looks like you reflexed it the wrong way.  The hinge looks ready to fold.

yeah i wouldn't draw her back again till fixed.  Maybe and underlay to reinforce after you re-recurve it?  Do one on the top as well just to match. Just mho :)
