(HELP PLEASE) I think that the pcie power conector of my Asus gtx 1060 3GB died

First im not a native speaker (i speak spanish) so sorry about the errors and grammar.
Hello i have a problem, today i was building my new system ,i use the motherboard box to test if everything was working and endeed it was so i shut it down and start building in the case.When i power it on, i see on the monitor:please power down and conect the power cable for the pcie card,but it was already conect ,and a red led was turn on instead of the white.

After changing the cable and the positions of the cable in the psu several times i tried to chek if the new psu was the problem so i tried using my old sistem but the led was still red so i tried several times more in the new sistem hoping that magicly fixes it self but it wasen t the case.
The odd thing is that the card works it outputs video if not i coudnt see the the warning and also the fans spin.
Im very worried that the pcie conector or something in the power delevery failed, in my city i dont know if anyone can fix it.
I need the grafics card because i have a ryzen system.
I wait 1 year to finaly have my new system and now is colecting dust in a corner.
I contacted asus support ,im wating for answer.
Any ideas of what happend or how to fix it?
The system specs: 
Mobo:Asus crosshair hero VI
CPU:Ryzen 3700x
Ram:Corsair Vengance 8X2 3000mhz

It could also be the psu, try a different psu. If you don't have another ps laying around then use a different pci-e cable, if the psu has an extra.

I think I didn't but I don't know really because I turn off the power supply unplug the 6 pin build the system in the case and 1 hour later I tried to turn the system on again but the GPU led was in red

It doesn't make any difference I leave it outside first , but in that photo I forgot to move it , and I think that I had it inside of GPU the 2 extra pin for over 2 years in the old system and I didn't have any problems

I also tried that and I tried with another cable,motherboard  and psu, the problem isn't the motherboard is the GPU .

The thing that I don't understand is why stopped working if when I first booted it worked and the it didn't
