Is it too bad? Could it damage something over time? At certain angles it looks normal others not so much

Before going to any extremes, see if this will work for you:

Another method I have used in the past is to pull the motherboard slightly askew in the opposite direction.

But really there is little issue with leaving it like that. Occasionally they slip out of the socket slightly and require re-seating. This is due to the heating and cooling cycles they slowly wiggle their way out.
well, your first pic looked very scary,
second one looked a bit better.
you may want to use some supporting in the far corner near the 8 pins (maybe lego blocks? :)
and yes, sagging will damage your trace in the graphic card and pci-e slot overtime.
