Is this RAM slot still usable?

I inserted the rams in the right slots, and when i turned on the pc i saw smoke came out of this slot, where one of the rams was.
Now this it is slightly burned as you can see while the ram has 2 burned pins.

In the last thread i made here a guy told me that it was because i didn't insert it very well so the ram wasn't properly connected, leading to the production of heat and so burning these components.

I spent 120 € for the motherboard and 70 € on the RAMs, and i almost had an heart attack
when i saw the smoke. I couldn't sleep for like 3 nights, i'm really scared that i have to spend again almost 200 €, which aren't even my money but my parents money (the gaming pc was my gift for my 18 years).

Do you have 2 or 4 sticks?
If 2: use the black slots, find out.

It's not going to magically repair itself (if it indeed is broken) if you leave it alone.

You could try a RMA

2 sticks, the manual says to use the grey for 2 sticks and also black if you have 4 sticks.
I've also sent an e-mail like 2 days ago, so hopefully they will replace it

In my experience you do not have to use the grey slots specifically, just as long as you use 2 slots of the same color.
The mobo (grey slot) may also be fine. On the whole RAM breaks much more readily than most other parts.
