Deformed Capacitor/Transistor (Not Sure < Noob Here)

Hi Tom! IMGUR brought me here. I have a problem with my Desktop PC.While I was cleaning the cpu, I kinda accidentally deformed the transistor/capacitor.
What should I do?
<Has little knowledge of internals of computers.
Thank you very much!

Thats fine, it doesn't look like it broke off and as long as the lead isn't broken it will still be functioning at 100%. The leads are pretty strong, you generally have to work them back and forth a few times to break them, you'd be surprised how durable leads on electronic parts are, I think you'll be just fine!

also, here are some additional info on the problem:

I notice the capacitor is bent after I lift/remove the processor fan, I don't know if it was like that before or not because it's my 1st try to remove the cpu fan to clean it, so I straighten it up and after cleaning the fan I put it back and put everything in place, powered up the pc and the monitor is not turning on like it used to.
