Nice to finally get through a frustrating problem triumphant (excepting the low coolant warning).
That looks very similar to the angle of attack I took with my pry bar. I used a metal plate (or something, old man memory) on the cooler to spread the load so I didn't have a point load crush a corner like that.
For the warning... might be time to trace the harness to look for signs of fraying or rodent chewing. An end to end continuity check should tell you if there is a break in one of the wires.
