I would never accept a damaged part as oh it's OK. Contact the seller for a replacement.

I have already contacted the seller. Not accepting it. however just wanted to know if these sort of damages might cause traces to be broken on the board

Chances of this board still working are quite low.

You're in a tough situation. Sellers often blame it on shipping for damages, but if the box wasn't adequate they may blame it on the packer/seller. Still, they shouldn't accept it if they feel it inadequate so definitely file a claim with the shipper since they damaged it.

It may not work, but certainly worth trying if you are stuck with it.

This type of damage can absolutely cause unforseen problems even if the board seems to work. I wouldn't even bother trying it at this point just do whatever you can to get compensation.
