I bent two of the branches on my plant today by accident trying to get the branch under the support ring I have around the plant and now the branches and buds look droopy. Are those branches going to die?

Just watch them over the next couple days. Did they break at all?

You see how it’s not facing up anymore it’s kind of on it side.

Duct tape and zip ties can fix anything.

Gently support it & tape/zip tie loosely or whatever as best you can to prevent further damage, good chance it'll be ok.

You can tether it with some string to either stalk or stake. A tomato cage would have worked too.

If there is a split / add some tape over split to keep from tearing more.

Nah, she just needs some support. Grab a pipe cleaner make a hook on each end and hook her from a high stem on the droopy branch and hook it back on the stalk.she'll be fine.
