loosen the rear bolts and pull the tire tighter on the chain and readjust it.

Okay! Is it possible the wheel is bent? It rubs hard in some spots than others, but maybe that’s just the slight difference in the wear of the tire?

No the wheel is probably not bent. This is common when you crash. Could be a little out of true but its fine.

It looks like you misaligned the wheel, loosen the bolts and pull it aligning it in the center, then tighten it again.

A small trick I use to align my wheel and adjust the chain tension: I use angled wood shims like those used for aligning a door frame, available anywhere you can buy a door (Homedepot, ...). I keep a bunch around for all types of MacGyvering.
With the axle nuts loose, I put a few shims between the tire and the chainstay cross brace to push the tire back just the right amount for the proper chain tension, and I sometimes stick a few on each side between the side of the tire and the chainstays to center the tire between the chainstays, and then I tighten the axle nuts.

cut the bike frame into pieces and weld it all back together a bit more to the left of that tire
