Help with my CPU?

Hello! ?

I started yesterday to upgrade my pc.I got a new CPU (Ryzen 7 2700x), motherboard (msi B450 gaming plus max) and ram (Corsair vengeance LPX DDR4).

Mind me this is the first time ever doing it alone or with someone who knows as little as i do.

 

When i turned on my pc, it clearly had power but the screens were black and didn't boot properly. I took out the CPU to realise i had put it the wrong direction (Sorry..!), but no pins were bent or broken so placed it back in the righ way. Turned my pc on again and still nothing. 

Took it out and checked to CPU to see that one pin had been bent. (picture here: https://imgur.com/BajWFLH )

 

Bent it back after watching a couple of videoes and checked the AM4 socket. There i noticed two black wholes at the same point as on the CPU (PIcture here: https://imgur.com/a/fsBsoZu ) I don't know if that is any issue at all? But anyways. I tried putting the CPU back and i noticed it wiggle a little adn when i tried to lock it, it makes this cracking sound so i stopped doing anything because i am afraid of making things worse! What am i doing wrong? (video of the wiggle here: https://imgur.com/a/PHNwVJc )

 

I'd apreaciate any help or advice. Thanks in advance!

You probably killed the cpu the first time you tried to install it, possibly the motherboard as well. If the store you bought it from is incompetent that you should be able to get a replacement, if they have even a slightly competent person who checks the products, then you've lost all your money.

Do you know how to solder very finely? If not the that's the risk you take when buying a PGA(pin grid aray) CPU

possibly ram, even less likely but still possible is the gpu, everything else should be fine
