Are my Socket Pins Slanted/Bent?

So I recieved my Motherboard a Couple of days ago, and I took a look at the socket, and looked at the Pins.

They seem to be slanted or at an angle, so i'm worried if they might be bent. I'm worried as i'm assuming pins are upright.

Maybe they're supposed to be bent or maybe they were all bent from the same angle? Should I send the Motherboard back for replacement?

Nothing...Yet. I'm building a Gaming PC and i'm getting the parts one at a time, so I got this and I was just examining the socket by opening it and closing it. I saw they were slanted so I panicked that I did something wrong or bent it somehow as I know bent pins cause all sorts of problems.

I always assumed that the pins were upright and not slanted by default. Thanks Anyway.
