Question Bent a Few CPU pins. Are they important?

[phlarfbar.steam]

After removing my CPU from my 1151 motherboard, I noticed 2-3 slightly bent pins. I dont know how they got there either as I lifted the CPU straight up and didn’t touch anything. I’m hoping they were there before I took it out and won’t cause a problem. Does anybody know what these pins do? I could get some tweezers and bend them back but would rather not if I can. ALSO, I unfortunately don’t have a spare CPU to test with. Bent pins near bottom middle of pic. Thanks!

It looks almost like there's something on the socket there that looks metallic. That seems more concerning than just the bent pin there.

It's hard to tell if the pin is bent too far to the left there, and that would be my primary concern as far as the bending is concerned. It would be worth checking if that pin sticking out is loose at all or if it was just bent.
