    If it still works then no i gess you did not pull the pins out to far you should have no problems but if you see a decrease in the performance of the card then you might have a problem. The only thing that i think could happen is when you bent the power pins they might be a little losse. This would cause power lose to the card so you might see a decrease in the performance in it.

    As long as you can maintain good contact with the connectors then it should be ok, just don't mess with it too much.
