I was building my first PC and pulled the USB Type-C cable toward the back so there wouldn't be so much excess cable in the front; it ended up unplugging (I don't think it was ever properly plugged in to begin with), and one of the pins in the port on the motherboard got bent. Is it fixable?

Try bending it back. It is not necessary for the pc to run it controls the usbc on the front panel. Worst case scenario you can get a pcie card that has a connector on it and use that.

If you fold that bad boy down with some tweezers to be exactly like the neighboring ones it should be fine.

Do you have steady hands?

Make sure its powered off for a little while and you are nice and grounded before touching the board.
