I found bent vertical braces in the area in contact with the stub spar that goes through the fuselage on a Tiger with no other noted damage to anything. Â I cannot imaging how that vertical brace can be bent unless the horizontal twisted so much that it deformed the vertical braces. Â
Just a heads up

Could it be a "tail skid touch" landing that
forced the aft fuselage up a little, and the mass
of the horizontal resists it and causes the buckle in the vertical angles?
The damage to mine was similar to your
description - previous owner landings though...:^)

Not the vertical but I saw the horizontal brace cracked.
A fellow Tiger owner on my field was pushing his Tiger into the T-hangar and struck the hangar with the elevator. He came and got me to see the damage. The right stabilizer was seperated from the fuselage about an inch leaving a gap at the leading edge root where the plastic root fillet usually is up against the fuselage. I held the right stabilizer at the tip and put a little forward pressure on it and heard a big pop. The gap was now gone. Further inspection by the A&P found the top lip of the spar cracked and that is where you could locate the popping sound...
