sorry cant make any good pictures to see the problem but one of the corners is a little bit up and the gold part is damaged.

Well I would say you're out of luck. Nothing to really fix with a cpu, it either works or it doesn't.

... unless I'm misunderstanding what actually happened.

Did you try to install with the CPU not in the proper notches?

I think yes, I did try to install wrong way as I try to setup my new system in micro ATX case. i had to install motherboard first before I could install CPU.
