Help me understand this sentence and its structure
“South Africans wanted to have black heroes and needed to have black heroes, yet Donald was able to influence at a hugely senior level these sorts of outcomes.”
I don't understand why "these sorts of outcomes" is placed at the end of that sentence, could somebody please rewrite that sentence so that it's easier to understand?
Thank you.

Would it still mean the same if it switched the last components around, like: South Africans wanted to have black heroes and needed to have black heroes, yet Donald was able to influence these sorts of outcomes at a hugely senior level ??
And what about "influence these sort of outcomes", does it mean something like 'he had an effect on these results" or "he caused these kind of results"
