Ram pins on the back of mobo bent

[Apoorwa]

Hello,

I think I bent the soldered pins of one of the ram slots (back of mobo) while trying to install the cooler. I pressed the cooler too hard which 

might have been the cause of the problem. I'll upload the picture of the situation described above so it's easier to visualize what 

I'm talking about. 

Should I try to bend back the solder? Will it cause problems?

 

Thanks.

Are you sure?

EDIT: Thanks for clarifying!

Those just hold the retention/slot assembly so it'll be fine.
