Destroyed my wifi/bt module socket on mpower max

Question

i assembled my entire computer, and then noticed when i had practically finished that i didnt put my wifi/bt module in, and to put it in at that point would mean removing EVERYTHING in order to remove the motherboard to get it in. I was pretty mad, so i removed a case fan and tried to force it in and out the backplate, and bent all the pins in the socket. i then tried bending them back with tweezers and snapped at least 3 pins off.
is there any way to fix this? like can i order a new socket and replace it, or take it to a shop and have them replace or fix the socket?

does a simple socket like that need ALL its pins?
If it didn't Intel wouldn't put that many.
Some carry voltage and some data. You can always check the pin arrangement in the Intel technical documentation. One bent pin alone will cause anomalies.
