UPDATE:

The mantis is functioning like a normal mantis. It caught its first meal by itself (before i was hand feeding). here is a pic.

Not much you can do. Did any of the legs grow back?

I only clipped 1 and it has a little foot on the end. Also it is all spead out trying to staighten its front arms. Also what should i do with the neck it is still messed up i think she may be trying to fix it now but should i try to help with the neck?

Nothing you can do for a neck unless you want to cut it off too but I don't think you will like the outcome.
