Did I break my motherboard?

Build - Help

I recently bought a MSI B650 Eagle AX. I have a Ryzen 5 5600 cpu chip and I attempted to install it in the chip slot, unknowingly that they weren't compatible. While I tried to secure the chip down I believe I may have damaged the pins in the motherboard. Is this salvageable?
