If the optical sensors got bumped and are a little out of whack you
can just eyeball it and aim them towards each other again. Usually
it's just a thin metal brace you can easiy bend. If your optical wires
are exposed (i.e. no drywall on your garage walls) make sure one of
the wires didn't get pulled out or damaged.

It does not need to be perfectly aligned. Our kids have bumped ours a
lot over the years and I just push it back into place.

Else do what the other rsfcers said (try to open without the GDO
attached to the door).
