Just ordered this motherboad by ASRock. When I inspected it, it had a couple capacitors slightly bent as shown in the photo marked in red...



Should I return it?

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.

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?
