Wonky motherboard component

Was re-routing some wires yesterday and noticed the part circled in the picture is slightly wonky. Is that normal ?

If its a 570 tomohawk max, i think that little cube is a bit wonky on my board also, never noticed it before, not as wonky as on yours, but certainly not straight.

Ah fair enough. It's a B450 TM Max

The grey cube component is an inductor. It's quite common for one or two parts on a motherboard to be not quite straight The only thing harmed by an inductor being slightly misaligned is my OCD.

It's normal and nothing to worry about and you always find slightly off components on boards, the one you mention is a memory inductor by where it is placed.
