Not a big deal. The leads can be long on caps and quite flexible. Just make sure the solder joint isn't broken.
How do they get bent in the first place? Manufacturing or during shipping/packaging? This is a pretty expensive board. I would expect the capacitors to not be bent. Also, how do I check if the solder is broke or not. There's a very small opening at the bottom, so I can barely see the wires.
They get bent from handling or even just soldered in that way. The wire leads should be firmly attached, not pulled away from the board. You can look at the back of the board also see and if there is any obvious damage.

I haven't even taken it out of the ESD bag. Once I do, I'll look at the back of the board. Basically, you guys are saying not to worry about the capacitors being bent/leaning? Also, what type of diagnostics can I run to make sure the board is operating correctly?
