I just returned a motherboard to Amazon and got this replacement. There is a piece of debris in the socket and it won’t let the cpu to go in. I tried putting it upside down and using compressed air but it’s stuck in there. Any ideas?

Use the air duster or apply isopropyl alcohol, letting it sit briefly before attempting to blow it out.

I relied on a needle. Alcohol and the duster seemed like a smarter choice.
