How do i remove this so i can put my gpu in? Edit: i already tried to remove the screw  but it still doesnt work

Seems like you have to remove the screw on the left on your outline and then the panel would be able to pop out. Are you mounting your GPU sideways in your case, though?

I know how to open the side panel but idk how to remove that lock so i can like slide my gpu in, Also what do u mean by mounting it sideways? im a little dense so yeah

Which chassis is this? Easier to help if we know.

It looks like it's on a hinge, after you take the screw out you simply lift it away

I tried to lift it without the screw, didnt work. I tried to push it outside from inside the case didnt work also.

You can usually find out where it's being held on when you try to use force. Try pulling it off from the outside again and look for where it won't let go

So, just to be clear, you undid this screw? And then tried to flip that cover out away from your case? (Those two tabs are low cost hinges)

Unscrew that white screw and then you'll probably have to pull towards you the metal flap (or push a bit to the right and then pull towards you, think of the stuff on the right as a hinge)

Seems like it's just a cover, you'll probably still have screw holes under it, to properly screw the video card to the case. You'll probably also need to remove a second metal bracket, because most video cards nowadays use two slots.

What I mean by sideways is that that slot isn't usually used by GPU's or whatever is plugged into the PCI slots. What I gather from your image is that expansion cards use the horizontal slots to the left. (see attached image)

 

We don't know exactly what case you're using, but if it's really a standard ATX size, your motherboard would be attached vertically so it would use the horizontal slots I mentioned for expansion cards.

 

EDIT: I also see one slot has already been taken out. Did you do that or was there already something in place there.

I removed that slot because i was trying to see if my 1030 would fit and realized it cant because of that lock thingy in the picture

It may be a snapout tab. Cheaper cases do that. Based on the thumbscrews on your case I'd say that case fits the bill.
