    Your board will be physically down a slot so you will need to use the other slots, while it is an x8 slot that would still have more than enough bandwidth for everything without dampening anything. As for the pins left on that slot though I would take a flush cutter and cut them off close to the PCB since you don't want to short them together especially the power pins.

    1) Damn
    2) x8 won't affect the card's performance in a noticeable way. Linus has videos on it, unless I'm wrong

    x8 doesn't show any performance impact at all tbh

    You can try to move the pins back so that the PCIe slot fits back in.
    I would suggest seeing if your local computer store would be able to repair it.

    I would at least use a knife to carefully move any pins that are touching (if any) if you intend to keep using it.
