While trying to fish out a screw I accidentally slightly bent a couple of the audio capacitors. I carefully pushed them back upright.

Will this affect audio quality at all because the metal is now weakened and the electron flow is more limited?

 

Like when you bend a paperclip and bend it back, it's warped a little, the electrical resistance is slightly altered, and if you bend it back and forth enough it breaks.

 

They're those little yellow and black Nichicon capacitors, ones about 5mm in height. Should push come to shove I'll just get out my soldering iron and put in some new ones.

 

I have an ASUS Prime X470-PRO board.
