I think my laptop's ssd port might be broken

Can't post a photo, so I'll try to describe it the best I can, my laptop is an HP, my problem right now is that it doesn't recognize the SSD, I'm told by the last guy to fix it that the SSD has no salvation, which I don't believe because 1. It was never broken, it always worked perfectly, the problem was the ram, but now that he gave it back to me it doesn't work at all, he claims to have tested it on other computers but I hardly believe it

Anyway that was the context, I decided to take a look for myself once again and noticed that one of the pins on the port was different to the others, it was too small for me to make out details, but when I shined it with my phone it was the only one that didn't shine, seems slightly bent or sunken
