So when i received my new GPU from amazon, the package was sitting outside for like a couple of hours in 42 degree weather (5.5 degrees celsius). Now i dont know if my actual GPU got to 42 degrees fahrenheit but could that coldness have potentially damaged the card?

You can see a lot of these thin metal looking walls, somehow one of those got bent on opposite side of my card. Should I worry about that or replace it?
Lastly, on the back of the card where you can see the circuits, it looks like there are these smudges on the back. Almost like if someone with greasy hands touched all over it, what is that?
Sorry for all the questions, my OCD just kicked in when I got this and noticed all these things.
