damage Damaged DIMM slot.

Hello everyone. I was replacing thermal paste on my CPU yesterday, and the screwdriver slipped and scratched some plastic off one of the DIMM slots. I was thinking about adding more RAM to my PC, and now I'm a little bit concerned. Is it really that bad as I think it is?

I mean, I didn't get the screwdriver anywhere inside the contact, so, it's ok I guess? Should I remove the plastic that got on the contact before putting the RAM stick inside?

possibly, the picture that is shown doesn't tell exactly what the type of blockage really is. Do you have a tool small enough to move the plastic?

Probably a needle
