Teracube 2e Sim slot

I have a Teracube 2e running e/OS 4.2, Android 16. I just changed service providers and the new sim card I tried to install bent one of the sim slot pins. I tried to straighten it out but I am not sure it worked. I tried the sim card on slot 2 but still no connection. Does it matter if I use slot 2 as the active sim slot? I am trying to determine if the problem is my phone or my new sim card. My thanks for any information anyone can provide.
