I was able to get a 3070 but when I tried plugging the 8 pin it wasn't able to get in and it looks like the pins are bent is it normal?

I'd see about RMAing it since there is a known issue with the power connectors.

The Gigabyte card implementation of the 8 pin plug is terrible. The pins are likely fine, just wobbly, check if you can move them with a toothpick or something (while PC is unplugged from power).

 

Check video at 13:51

normaly the pins are solid soldered bridges, here its just a cable extension so its wobbly and difficult to plug in
