Question about a used nh d15

A friend of mine bought a used nh d15 from eBay 

 

The left tower seems somewhat rounded.. It’s normal? Or should he return the object and requesting a refund? (he got it for 45 euros)

Also he has a crosshair vi, which I think it support the am3 backplate, but he has the mounting kit of the am2, so he was wondering if he could mount it anyway, or he should get an adapter for am4 ; 

 

Also in case he could use the am2 adapter, since he hasn't a am2/3 backplate, he was wondering if he could use some screws/dices to hold it to the motherboard

Even if the left side is somewhat rounded than the right side?

The fin being a bit bent isn't going to make a noticeable difference. It can be easily bent back.

Crosshair VI boards are AM4 and you can't use the same AM2 / AM3 mounting hardware.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

Yes, but the ch vi has also the am3 holes for the backplate.. 

So The backplate holes for am3 and am2 are the same or not?

Free kits are only for those with original receipts. But they can be purchased later separately.

If I have it, but it's from +2 years ago.. Should it be valid?
