Nah. It doesn't impact anything. It's fine.
(unless you also broke off some component from the motherboard)

That gold item you circled is called a heatsink. It's purpose is to cool the chip underneath it.

You have not impacted your computer much by bending that. If you like, you can GENTLY bend it back into place.
