Other than changing the fan leaves, anybody has other ideas? Thank you.

You've obviously bent or knocked a blade out of it's normal location. Stop the fan...you may be able to SEE which one is out of sync. If you can straighten it, do it.
Now....If that didn't work, get a wooden (or 2 plastic) clothespin. Attach the clothespin to the edge of one of the blades...about halfway down the blade. Turn the fan on and see if it makes the wobble better or worse. Repeat until you find the blade that makes it the best.
Once you find the best blade, begin by moving that clothespin ALONG the edge of the blade.....start by moving it towards the tip and repeat that until you have found the best spot to eliminate the wobble. Remove the clothespin and tape/glue a nickel to the top of the fan blade at the same level that the clothespin worked.
If you have actually BENT a blade badly, you may need to do this same thing with the blade right beside that one that you have identified.

Have you ever gone into one of those cool technology stores? Where there's a clock that has a stick at the top and it moves back and forth really really fast. And you can see the time on the clock because since the stick is moving fast it creates a sort of "background" for the time to be seen. Find out online how they do that and maybe it will help create an image for your fan.

You just have to adjust (move) the fan blades so that they are horizontal. If they are not in a horizontal position the fan shakes.
Anyway first check if the fan hangs right on the hook!

It sounds like one of your blades was moved in its mounting slot when it hit the ladder. The best thing to do is to remove that blade and re-mount it. If you still have the fan kit, they usually come with weights to balance the wobble, use them to stablize your blade.

Try taking off the blades then put them back on to rebalance them.

Check the bolts and nuts of your fan

Maybe you knocked it loose from the beam it's anchored into.
