OK, so the wheel is cantered inward by an abnormal amount. If you look at the wheel when it's on the ground, I would suspect that you can see it has way more camber than the other rear wheel. Might be the wheel bearing:

Parking brake off, wheel in the air, grab it in the 6 / 12 o'clock position and rock it. There should only be a tiny bit of flex.

You think it may have been caused by a loose/ stripped pinch bolt. Unless the bolt is missing, I don't see how that can be an issue as the bolt goes through an eye in the strut which stops the knuckle from sliding up and down.

I'm going to assume you have stock lower control arms, not tubular adjustable ones. And you haven't hit anything.
