Slightly bent leg on the processor, what to do?

Good afternoon. This is my first time assembling a computer on my own, I have no experience and I need your advice/help. I found that one leg on the processor is slightly bent (by eye - barely noticeable), by about 0.1 mm. The processor easily and tightly fits into the socket, but I'm afraid to turn it on, I repeat - there is no experience of self-assembly. What do you advise, change or, given that it is installed in the socket without problems, leave it as it is?

As already written in the comments: if it is included, then it will work.
Just in case, I will describe how to straighten this leg. The main tool is not some kind of tweezers, but a thin steel tube, for example, a syringe needle. We choose the diameter so that it is put on the conclusion more tightly, if possible, almost without play, until the very bend, and after putting it on, we rule it under a magnifying glass. Then we look along the rows and columns, comparing the position of the straightened pin with the rest, and, if necessary, straighten more.
By the way: the same needle (made of stainless steel, not wetted by solder) will come in handy when you need to unsolder the socket from the motherboard. How to act - I hope you guess, it's obvious.
