Is my RTX 3070 fixable?

This is normal, that pin is shorter by design.

There is a previous post on this forum where I was trying to find the cause of the problem where my graphics was showing no signal when I launched some games. I have since taken the card out and found that on one of the pins there was half of the pin missing. Apparently, the pin was used for power so I think when I tried to launch a game the card couldn't get enough power and then stopped providing a video out but if you have any other theories then let me know.

 

The card is an RTX 3070 MSI Gaming Trio X

 

Does anyone know how one would go about fixing this card, whether it is fixable and who I should send the card to?
