We examine the case of a bent dark soliton comparing the mean-field dynamics to a correlated approach. Dynamical snaking of this bent structure is observed, signaling the onset of fragmentation. In contrast to the mean-field approximation ``filling" of the vortex core is observed, leading to the formation of filled-core vortices. We show that this filling owes its existence to the dynamical building of an antidark structure developed in the next-to-leading order orbital. We further demonstrate that the aforementioned beyond mean-field dynamics can be experimentally detected using the variance of single shot measurements. Additionally, a variety of excitations including vortices, oblique dark solitons, and open ring dark soliton-like structures building upon higher-lying orbitals is observed. Signatures of the higher-lying orbital excitations emerge in the total density, and can be clearly captured by inspecting the one-body coherence. In the latter context, the localization of one-body correlations exposes the existence of the multi-orbital vortex-antidark structure.
