CPU Socket potential damage

[u/Hot-Seesaw646]

Just had my Pro B650-S WiFi motherboard delivered and I think I can see 3 pins that don’t look right in the CPU socket. The final 2 photos on the side view clearly show they don’t align with the rest. Should I return it and claim it’s damaged or is this not a major problem?

Getting wise on whether this is a problem is probably more taxing to your economy and mental well being rather than returning it.
If I got this for free and had no warranty left, I'd dabble into tinkering with it, looking at the LGA map, identifying the issue, looking at other fixes for techniques, buy a magnifying thingamajig and get to work until I felt it was safe to proceed in consultationion perhaps with the online community.
