Greetings friends, I am quite terrified. After repairing and taking care of almost everything, the oil light kept coming up on the highways so we brought down the sump only to find this. does anyone knows what can this be? The bike turns on, rides quite well, gears change is ok, but the oil pressure was low (hence the sump removal) but there is so much debris. Please, help!

You're right, incorrectly installed bearing, screens in the debris
, and therefore low oil pressure.
But there are pieces in this pics that seems joint by riveting like some kind of clamp or hugger not quite a bearing
 
Considering that you have a 2005 and such photos are not uncommon for owners of early Rockets, you will know for sure when you disconnect the torsional damper cover.
You are right, analyzing ‘em closer it all seems to be that, hope this debris didn’t affect anything else
 
Yes torsional damper bearings. Also you have the old style sump pan 2004. In 05 the changed it right before they introduced the Black engines.
But this is a 05 according to the papers provided
