I accidentally bent 3 or 4 pins in my cpu socket, which were located near the middle next to the empty space, of my gigabyte z170x ud5 motherboard, and I tried fixing them by pushing on them a little with a folded out paper clip. They weren't perfect but they were better aligned than before when they were bent more.

I then proceeded with the build, including inserting and seating the processor, and now the build is half complete. I'm wondering if I should go ahead and still try to complete it, and if I'll have any issues further down the line.

Thanks in advance
