I backed into my garage at a angle and hit one of the posts holding the frame of the door to the wall. Garage door still opens and closes fine.
Can I use lag screws to pull it closer together and cement to seal it? Not shown but there's another long screw connecting them.
Hard to tell but there's a wood "block" embedded in the cement that the original was drilled into. Tried kicking it back together and smacking it with a hammer.

you need to remember newtons laws, for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.
therefore, since the damage was done by backing the car into it at an angle, the only option to fix it is to back you car into it at an opposite yet adjacent angel.
Since you altered the situation by kicking and hammering it you need to estimate the amount of change you created.
Id estimate it to be 5%, so my advice to you would be to back into it only 95% as hard as the first impact at the correct angle.

Pretty much this.
Lets see a pic of the bumper for fun.
Great success. 3/8th lag bolt worked along with some hammering. Would've used my car but my garage door rail was in the way. Now I gotta patch it and paint it

That's the correct fix. You just knocked the wooden nailer loose.
