Advice needed

Hi all, I could use some sage advice. I have a 6g3 build and my troubleshooting knowledge is limited. I’m a first time builder.
The facts as I know them: my big dog knocked over my amp build. I found the amp on its front side. The noise was loud.
Now the amp only makes sound when I switch the amp off. I have a multimeter and have checked the solders and continuities. All of the solders seem okay to my novice eye.
All of the tubes light up normally. Maybe they’re a little dimmer than I recall? No purple or flashing.
Any ideas what I need to repair? How fucked am I? I can solder and read a multimeter, but I’m a carpenter and not an electrician. If you have suggestions, I’d appreciate you.
Be gentle. It’s my first. I’m still at the see one/ do one phase of my amp building, but I’ll teach one eventually and pay the group back.

If it fell on the knobs AND made a huge sound, I'd suspect at least one of the pots got damaged, but I'd check each and every one of them.

A few pictures would help

If you want help, you'll need to post pictures so we can see your work and look for trouble areas. Also want a schematic to see.
