Great question @irelandscape. In fact, the only thing that makes sense for now is that the impact had happened. We can't even be sure whether what caused it in the first place. And due to this, we can't be sure about the extent to which Theia's orbit was disturbed. Some just guessed it was Venus and made further calculations which could possibly result in a crust-shattering, core-merging direct impact.
