Hard to tell anything from those badly out of focus pictures, but there's nothing wrong with it if it's a new, never opened processor.

get some arctic mx-4, clean up the OEM crud with a paper towel and make sure its clean

then apply a tiny amount of mx-4 on the cpu and wipe it with a bank card, attach the cleaned cooler and secure it

then your CPU should be good to go
