That plant looks relatively developed. Topping is ideally started once just a few true nodes are visible.
Maybe try and tie the plant down, without breaking the stems (LST).
If you still wish to top, locate the newest point of growth, and snip it just above the node, leaving the fan leaves intact.

Yup. In a few days, the tops of the plant will bend up to the light again. New branches will develop.
It is advisable to train the main branches to the outside of the plant, and the more delicate, secondary branches to the inside.
This will give the plant optimal light exposure.
Veg and LST for another 2 weeks, and you should have a good number of tops forming. These will take off once flowering!

You could just leave it alone, and it would be just fine.
Just tie it to a stick so the stalk is vertical (aside from the bend caused by the damage.) Once it has a little support it will adjust to the bend,
But low stress training would be a good idea if you want to put in the extra work of tying it down.

I prefer lst to topping. If I were you I'd go buy a few bamboo stakes and tie them up.
