I opened the box and plastic cover to the CPU (intel i3-6100) to inspect it and put it back in the packing after. When I was snapping the plastic shell back into place with the CPU it, the plastic made contact with the CPU, made contact with the side with the "pins"(they don't stick out, they are almost like flat ovals, put I heard they were called pins) When I closed it, the CPU was off centered, so when I pressed down, the plastic centered it by force, into the shell, and then snapped shut. The plastic slide off the edges touching the "pins" as it slid. I get super paranoid and the rest of the parts to my pc don't come for another 2 days. I've also heard CPUs are delicate. Will it be ok?? Please reply
