2080 with 3 burnt pins?! What do i do now?
This means that the connector was getting really hot. The reason would be bad contact either between connectors or somewhere else (between wires and connector? Most likely. On the card itself? Highly improbable).
Judging by melted plastic you got lucky - it could have started a fire.
I do not see any real damage to the card though. Ideally you should clean the pins with something abrasive, and probably stop using this cables. Just connect PSU cables directly, "looks" are not worth killing the card or starting a fire. Inserting extra connection points and wires into relatively high-current lines just for "looks" is honestly a thing I'll probably never understand...
Stuff like this can be commonly seen on electrical outlets when people constantly pull the plug by the wire, wire slowly starts to break heat up. It is not immediately noticeable because device continues to work, and it is a fire hazard. Just like what happened to your card here...
