I need to get this off my chest. are those couple of flat looking pins you see inside red circle bent or is it normal with this motherboard?

I'd have to see it from a different angle.

"extra"? No...those 2 may be 'unused', but unless you're looking at the actual schematic and pinout....no way to tell.

Those 2 pins are absolutely bent over backward. A strong light, magnifying glass, needle and much patience required to fix this.

Still doesn't look exactly correct.

Can it cause issues? Sure.
