Yeah metals tends to stretch when you pound on it, lol
It thins out and expands a little, making it bulge out from the surrounding area...
You might be able to CAREFULLY and SLOWLY work it back down with a flat-faced body hammer or possibly a rubber mallet, taping around in working from the outside and making your way to the center of the dent. If you start off in the center, you'll probably just push it right back in the way it was before, lol.
Just remember, you're not trying to force the metal to do what you want it to do, you want to gradually coax it into the shape you want
