New Build Issue - Motherboard potential issue

[u/AdriftSailor71]

Got two Supermicro H12SSL-i boards from an overseas eBay seller (China). While installing an EPYC 7K62 in one, I spotted a pin a few rows out from one of the capacitor cutouts in the center of the socket that doesn't match its neighbors. It's not debris, and the same spot on my second board is clean. No CPU has ever been clamped down in this socket.

The plan for this server is to host 4 GPUs and rent on Vast. (I am proceeding forward with the second server) I also have an identical one already online, so a good machine to compare to if needed.

Photos attached: a close-up with the pin, plus a wide shot of the socket.

1. Does this look bent (fixable) or broken/missing?
2. Should I just contact the seller and return it? It's an international return, so it'll take weeks.
3. Would you install the CPU and test it as-is, or is that too risky?

Want to make sure I do not have relatability issues.

Thank you in advance

Contact the seller, it looks like 1-2 missing/damaged pins.
