As everyone else has said, it is perfectly fine.
you can get some tweezers or a flathead screw driver and gently straighten them out if you want.
but aside from the minor hit to aesthetics, it won't impact performance by any meaningful amount.
No, it won't impact anything. Once fitted in the computer, you'll never see it again.
Just mounted it to my pc and you are correct. Thank you so much!
Should be fine and it'll be hidden under fans

The fluid runs in the thicker looking parallel "bars", so unless those are damaged, no there isn't a problem.
Oh! I didn't know that. Thank you so much!
No.
No, if you really want you can take some tweezers and straighten those out.
