1) I don't see any thrustmaster damage? Where are you looking?
Maybe this is old news, but has anyone else noticed the "Auxiliary Powerplant Cooling System" so masterfully installed above the foremost thrustmaster plant?
3) And perhaps the most famous laborer making his cameo with the broom...

I doubt that was there pre landing.

Remember that the barge is usually ballasted to be low in the water for stability during landing. The list could just be a pump problem with that side, couldn't empty the ballast tanks out.
2) It's scary - but I am beginning to think that the "list" we are seeing in these images, where the starboard bow is low could actually be quite the opposite. I think that the entire barge has buckled slightly in the center aft, thereby lifting the starboard (and maybe port) sides. Look at the aft blast wall compared to the deck and you'll see what I mean. Perhaps the F9 came in so hot that it bent the deck upwards. Seems impossible, but perhaps...

Something really interesting seems to be hiding under small blue tarp:

Does anyone guess how the upper part of the stage could stay on the barge?
