Question Would it be a problem if the LGA1151 DMI_RXN [2] pin is bent?

Hello, I have an MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard and an i3 7100 processor. Unfortunately, there is a slight bend in the DMI_RXN [2] pin of my motherboard. What exactly does this DMI_RXN [2] do? Will it cause any issues with the proper functioning of the system?

When I say the pin is bent, it’s not a simple bend. Unfortunately, I cannot take a photo because my phone is broken, but to explain it simply:
It's not just a slight tilt or a shift to the side; the pin is actually bent, and it’s impossible for me to repair it at home.
The pin should look like this:

My pin looks like this:

Unless you can find exactly what that pin does, it may be anything possible.

No effect at all, or no boot at all.
Or multiple things in between.

So is there any way to test what the pin does, an app or a physical test?

Possibly MSI has a chart, showing what each pin actually does.

I am not aware of an app or test.

Thanks, I couldn't find any data on the internet, chat gpt said some things but I didn't believe it.

"ChatGPT" is 100% clueless.
In this, and most other things.

Any actual info would need to come directly from MSI.

The pic you have is as close as you'll get.
What exact pin is suspect, and what does it relate to in your image?
