Ok so i just bought today a broken rx 470 platinum edition that i want to repair. I know i must check the pcb components with a multimeter but i haven't done it yet maybe in the next days. So i opened it up and the first thing i noticed was this askew thing on the pcb that was probably badly resoldered or something. But i have no idea what that thing is and where i can find a replacement one to solder. Does it sell on aliexpress or i have to find a spare one on other pcb? (If realy that is the problem)And how it is called?

It is crooked, but appears to be in fine condition. If you want to learn more about the component, search for the text imprinted on the top of the package. Sites like Mouser and Digikey may have replacements.

Screwdriver specs: Long, pointy. Turns things. Some kind of metal.
