It's better to instead try to push the two metal contacts inside the hotswap sockets together.
There shouldn't be a gap between them when there is no switch inserted.

You can do that with a small screw driver or a needle pretty easy.

Bending the pins of the switch increases the risk of putting pressure down on the socket itself when inserting the switch.
This can rip off the sockets of the PCB and thus permanently damage it.

I didn't know you could push the metal contacts of the sockets. Thanks for the input!
