Is it broken

[Clueless person]

I recently tried installing an ssd into my motherboard but was not given the proper 8.5h screw. I tried using inserting my own standoff impatiently but stripped it on a piece of the motherboard. Is it broken? Can I still go on?

You broke that good, your probably fine, you will just be missing a stand off. Make sure your board doesn't come into contact with the case, one standoff missing shouldn't be the end of the world. Hold out for a second opinion, I could be wrong.
