ACcidentally pulled my cpu from the socket while installing anew cpu cooler, now the lever does not lock the cpu in place? Did I break it?

I fixed it, I pulled out my FX-8320 with the stock heatsink, and then tried putting it back in the wrong way. I finally realized what I was doing and corrected it. I guess it just startled me when I pulled out the chip along with the old heatsink. I now have my Cooler Master Evo 212 installed! :)

Sorry, I know this is an old post but I am having this same problem. Could you tell me what your mistake was?
