Can a heatsink be too heavy for motherboard

So I was cleaning out my case today and saw a slight bowing to my motherboard, is it possible my heat sink is to heavy and or is this not a big deal or should i be worried.

Its not biggie. I have seen HR02s fitted to mITX boards in both horizontal and vertical positions and they are huge heatsinks.

So the slight bend is not a big deal then. I feel like it could also have been from the gpu

the silicone will flex a bit, but no real harm is done unless you get to a point where it cracks
