I now have a U shaped indent in the ceiling in the shower, just inside the shower curtain. I think I could gently pry the metal skin out to a bit past flush, fill the void with something and then gently push the skin back to where it should be.
But, being overhead, anything like syrup will run out. Caulk will probably be thick enough to not run out. But I am not sure what kind of caulk to use

Wayne,
Once the aluminum is dented, it stretched the metal. It will never lie flat again unless you are really good with a torch and I wouldn't do that because of the foam.
It would probably be best to sand and fill the dent with a body filler like Bondo. Then sand, prime and paint it.
When using Bondo over head, it's best to apply a thin coat with a putty knife. Let it cure for an hour, sand with a sanding block then reapply as necessary, until you achieve a smooth, flat surface. If you try yo do it in one coat, it may sag and pull away from the surface..
I can't think of a caulking that wont's sag when used over head.
