Hi guys, today I was installing my new mobo and cpu, psu, heatsink vent and mobo light just run for 1 sec then stopped, won't be able to boot, then after some attempts to run the pc, it didnt make more signs of life, was just silenced at all. I thought it was a mobo problem, but when I was uninstalling the HS I realized that the 2 lower pins were not locked, so my question at this point is, was this the problem? did I fry my CPU?? 2 top pins were locked but 2 on the bottom were not, only just on site.

No, you are very unlikely to have done any permanent damage. Components are designed to shut down before dangerous levels of heat are generated.
What CPU and motherboard? If you are using a standard Intel stock cooler you have to make sure that the push pins are properly engaged and my students are often confused by the fact that the arrows on the top of the pins show how to turn them to remove the cooler. We always check that the heatsink is properly mounted by gently pulling it on each side, to ensure that all four pins are firmly in place.

Its solved, now connected again and its running well.
I hate HS stock, I have to push and I'm afraid to damage the MB. It was the first time building the cpu on the mobo so I was cautious to do not damage any component. Also I had to make some force to push the clip that holds the CPU (i5 6600) on the socket, it made some crank, but I think I didnt damage it.
