So when i tried to replace my cpu cooler, the cpu got stuck to it and i somehow managed to pull the cpu out of the socket ( with the cooler ofc). A few pins have been bent, but the thing that is bothering me is this tiny little filled hole on the socket. Is this normal or is it damaged? Do i need to raplace it? Did really one pin got stuck into the socket? Can i get it out? Im really lost right now. Please help.

That doesn't look good - Is the chip missing any pins?
Looks like one broke off and it's still there in the socket.
