It sounds like you're facing a tricky situation with your Ryzen 5 setup. You might want to carefully try removing the CPU yourself using a proper method, or consult a professional technician to avoid further damage. If you're unsure, returning the board could be the safest option.
we need some images of this setup... take out the stick close to the CPU and gently shift it slightly to the right
Raise the small tool you used to place the CPU, then remove it.
It seems you encountered issues with pins misaligned if they bent. The socket should shift slightly when adjusting the arm. If problems persist, applying upward pressure can help extract the CPU. I also had to carefully pull a few from a ZIF socket while it was attached to a cooler, but it didn’t damage anything. Avoid twisting the CPU during removal.
Others mentioned the socket requires no force to insert, so some have installed Ryzen CPUs along with their coolers. You might consider removing the CPU instead.
