Turns out that in my case the heat shield was not bent at all. It was the right front outer hub bearing assembly. Once this was changed the car is silent, no vibration and it rides better than before. I was going to change the lower control arm to address the bumpy ride on the right side but now I am glad I didn't. There was a axel seal that was leaking and a cat converter bracket that was broken.

I am still not sold on the timing chain noise. I was told that there are plastic tensioners that the timing chain cut into that causes the noise. In my case I only noticed the rattle after I had a mechanic change the other belts in the car. It rattles for a few seconds or more sometimes and then stops. I'll monitor it and see if it continues.

This was my fix in this instance and I hope it helps others.

Heading out to pick up the car at 6pm today.I had been noticing that the car would ride rough when the right front wheel would go over any rough patch and was thinking it was the lower control arm bushing. I was told that the wheel hub bearing was bad and needed replacing. There was a broken bracket that also needed replacing and a seal on the left front wheel. It was a $720 damage. I was also told that the timing chain was making noise. That is a $1200 repair which I declined at this time. Have anyone had any issues with the timing chain making noise. I'll see how bad when I get it back.

the dealer took care of this on mine, there is a heatshield near the back of the engine that got pushed up into the engine compartment, not sure what it was pushing against but caused the symptoms u were describing. rough description of location is under the pedals in the undercarriage
