No post Athlon 220G - probably damaged processor socket

Hi, quickly - previously working Asus A320M hosting Athlon 220GE is not posting after its owner pretty bruttally tore out the processor that was stuck to its cooler thanks to thermal paste. Seems as if all pins are completely ok (after just a very minor straightening) but the processor seat (? Socket? The moving plastic seat) is partly cracked. It can still move and accept the processor and hold it pretty firmly in place, but it's the last place where I ended up while debugging it. Everything was reseated and the board currently has only memory and processor. 

 

Any idea how to test it out without another am4 board or processor? Or how to try and fix it

The socket is probably busted.

The CPU might be as well, if some of the pins touched each other.

The CPU really seemed minimally damaged, and the crack on the plastic socket isn't that large, so I'm hoping to salvage it at least one of them
