Narrative:
Ladder was positioned in the right wheel well to view a hydraulic leak. I noticed that it was coming from the flex line to the right gear door actuator. I was told to go to the hangar and procure one from one of the out of service airbuses. Upon my return; I noticed the aircraft had settled onto the ladder from the loading of fuel; passengers; and baggage. This caused the damage to the wheel well fairing.
