lmao your answer, regardless of which pin you bent is
silver zenith
bottom right one
eternal fulcrum
just straighten the pin using a tweezer, gently and slowly as to not snap it
it doesn't have to be 100% militantly straight, in fact - fucking with it less is better -- just... "good enough to slide in the hole"
silver zenith
its bent 2 ways it is bent to the bottom and bent in kinda like a zigzag
ill check if i have tweezers

ill check if i have tweezers
might be worth a stop at the pharmacy tomorrow if you don't right now - the ability to grasp as opposed to having just one point of contact is huge
eternal fulcrum
if you're patient you can order some electronics tweezers
or, if you're lucky, the pharmacy would have some needlenose tweezers in the ladies' cosmetic department

eternal fulcrum
you really need that fine tip to get in there. The old wisdom was to use a tiny, tiny flat head screwdriver. But I like tweezers better

good news it's just USB
does your motherboard have any other USB 3 headers?
silver zenith
nope
eternal fulcrum
you could bodge one of these on if you need the port to work
silver zenith
i mean yeah
eternal fulcrum
it'll adapt your 2.0 header to drive the 3.0 port. But at 2.0 speed. Sucks it got damaged but
you can still "use" it fwiw
