One bent leaf lobe tip does not a disaster make! In other words, one bent leaf lobe tip isn't a problem. If it was on several leaves or spreads, then it would be worth taking a second look at. Bugs can cause similar issues, but they don't usually start at the tips of newer growth... plus it's just bent, not eaten or folded to make a nest.
I've seen this happen a few times and like Jimster said it's not a problem if it's on one or two leaves. Anecdotally, I've seen it happen to plants when they change growers. As in, when someone gives someone else a mature plant, they take it home and put it in their environment and give it their feed and the tips do a nosedive. So I suspect it's likely related to a change in nutrients or ph. Did you change anything recently? Did anything otherwise change? Add anything? Runoff numbers are the same as usual?

recently got a ph tester and it’s been very acidic from watering. I balanced it out to 7. I got this from a friend at a month old had it for maybe 3 weeks or more. I started watering with mosquito dunks water. I’ve started having some fungus gnats, currently treating for those. I’ve had small amounts of liquid seaweed 1oz for 2 gallons and have been watering with that. Did a big drench yesterday for the gnats, got some T-drops (Tanlin/ xantham gum) from a shop for free which they told me to add. But I noticed the turned down leaves the day before yesterday so that wouldn’t be it. Do I need to soak with just water to wash away some nitrogen? I don’t want to overwater them.
Its probably from the change in ph. Funny though that it fits my observation that this happens sometimes when a mature plant changes hands from one grower to another.

some other leaves that are turned down
I have a handful of leaves that are asymmetrical and also have lighter edges. Is this nitrogen toxicity and if so is there any timely way to treat it?
