Is the Drone under warranty ? If so Send it in. If not, You are going to need to order all NEW parts for each arm then you will need to dis-assemble the Drone I have not worked on a Mavic 3 so I am not sure if the arms are soldered or if there is a snap connection. I would be willing to bet its soldered if thats the case Don't use a Hardware store soldering iron on your Drone! get a TS-101 soldering Iron, It will save you from "lifting" a tab.

There will be some broken pieces in this aircraft.
It will need to be opened for replacement of those parts.
More than likely, this should not be in the air in its current condition.

Hi ! Thanks for your answer I unscrewed both screw and I saw there is a pin that works as atte center rotation of the arm
I could improve the alignment of the arms but the correct angle of the rotation pin in my opinion is not reached
I show a top photo , I don’t see any external deformation
Thanks for your help what do you think, omar

This is not something that can be repaired from the outside. Internal damage.

you need to replace the parts inside. That pin is most likely attached to a damaged part you need to open the drone to do the repair;. CAUTION: If your Drone is under warranty you will void that by opening up the Drone.
 
Keep us posted. As mentioned above hopefully you purchased DJI Refresh and can get it fixed

Good luck with your repair. As a Classic flyer myself. My question is. How did the crash happen? Might help us avoid a similar situation.
