EDIT: I just looked at my old cpu again and determined theres no broken pin inside the hole I cleaned it with a tip of a thumbtack but still cannot see anything moving underneath it like I can with the rest of the holes.
I have a B450 tomahawk mobo when I removed my 2700x somehow the pins were bent and some broke off. I put my new 3700x in and exactly one pin broke off I zoomed in with my phones camera and see a weird spot where the plastic hole looks bigger then the rest of the cpu socket this is the spot where the 3700x pin broke off. I have the replacement cpu now and I'm extremely nervous to try installing it I've already destroyed $550 worth of processors and have never done that before. Here's a photo
