I recently got a Z97 G45 Gaming and I noticed some of the pins on the CPU socket are slightly off. Is this normal for Intel socket mobo's? Or do I need to fix them. If they aren't suppose to be bent, is it ok if just 3 or 4 are? Thanks

Its not normal.

Post a shot - here and to the seller.

You might be able to straighten them. But in trying you'll void your warranty.

It'd be better to RMA the motherboard.
