new motherboard and when putting in my usb 3.0 connector i either bent one of the usb 3.0 pins on the mobo or it was bent but i bent it back with a knife and got the cord plugged in, do you think it will ever effect the 3.0 ports or what should i do all pins are there and it plugs in

If all the pins are now straight and you don't fuck around with the port too much it should be fine. People bend the pin on their CPU and straighten them back with no issues all the time. But next time this happens, do it with something other than a knife to avoid damaging the PCB.
