Hi, the board you received had one pin that looked slightly bent. The pinout indicates it's a PCIE-PEG-TXP 1 pin. Even without a perfect connection, your RX 6600 uses x8, so you can likely skip this pin and still install your CPU.

Even though precise tools are necessary, I usually opt for two needles. The second one provides extra support, while bending the pin effectively works best with a flexible material like plastic to act as a lever point.
