Hello Oliver. The Nikon Z8 Repair Manual is at the link below. On pages 8 thru 23 you can see images of the body structure and components of the camera. It looks to me that camera body is two main structures (front and rear) screwed together with a bottom cover plate attached to provide additional rigidity. If it’s just the bottom plate which is deformed it can probably be replaced easily, but there are seals involved (an perhaps some adhesive) and there may be other internal attachments to it which aren’t obvious from the 3D model images provided.
