You're having trouble removing the USB 3 header from your motherboard. It sounds like you've applied a lot of pressure and haven't succeeded, so you're being cautious about damaging it. Consider using a gentle approach or seeking professional help if needed.

Keep the plastic in place and lift it straight up without tilting.

It was just a dead board, yet it still made a difference.

Pins seem fine, don't they? Just take the plastic piece off the cable and put it over the connector and it's all good! I mean.. Except for the fact the connector is on a dead board I guess.. What I'm saying, is that if the pins are fine, the USB 3.0 connector is fine.

It looks like the connector is still lodged, but I don’t know how to remove it.

They also do it, just remove the plastic casing with a small flat screwdriver and it will separate easily. After that, reattach it to the motherboard.
