OK
How many does it look like are bent? If there are only 2 or 3 bent ones you can try straightening them yourself but you must have a good eye (which it seems you do) and a steady hand. You can straighten them with a small thin blade pocket knife or a rounded toothpick. You must be extremely careful not to bend any of the other pins in the process.
If you don't feel comfortable doing it you could ask a pc shop or a jeweler to do it for you.

You can't loosen it.
Just make sure the cpu is correctly in the socket and close it and latch it. Nothing you can do about it, it's just the way it is.

Maybe you didn't get them exactly straight. You will have to check them again and make sure they are evenly spaced.

I just found that a pin was completely out of position, it came out of the socket. Now what?

If it came out.. its game over. You would need to A) Replace the socket yourself B) RMA and pay like $150 to repair the damages.
Ram is supposed to be in both RED slots A2/B2 slots

Amazon changed my MOBO, but still 55 code. Socket pins are all straight, evenly spaced. Tried RAM on both RED slots, but still 55.

Got lucky that Amazon took it back. As far as QR-55
See if you cant "jiggle" lightly a ram stick in A2-B2 Slots. My first VII Hero had bad Dim slots.
Also make sure your ram is on the QVL List for the motherboard.
Have you also tried flashing the bio's with flashback? If not try that. 2601 is out now... My issue with my first VII Hero i would be stick with QR-55 or QR-64.
Only way I got it to boot was to make sure the ram slots were fully seated and made contact. Whatever reason when I cold booted id get stuck with QR-55 unless I jiggled my ram in A2. I sent it back for an RMA.
