@leonpi you can try and use some alligator forceps to straighten the pins out. If you can't straighten those or if they should break, you will have to replace the SIM card reader. That will of course involve some soldering.

@leonpi you would have to desolder the old one and then resolder the new, if you can still find it. Something like this
