I hope this is the right place to ask this sorta question but im a first time builder and i was putting in my motherboard when i noticed these metallic pieces where sticking out. Do will they cause anyharm on my compontents other than blocking the port? Which im not planing to use anyways. Maybe if  i need to use the port in the future i can just bend these forward?

If you can remove the motherboard and bend them inwards they would be in their original position.

 

They are meant to be ontop of the connector inside the case.

It should be fine on the outside, since they are not inside the connector it's fine

it's fine. The point of these 'flaps' is to conduct static charge from the I/O shield to the ground (all the ports on the rear I/O are connected to the ground), as long as a few flaps touch the rear I/O it's fine.
