You can use legos and build a support for it (or use a dowel rod, or anything).

 

Yes it can cause PCIE slot issues if it sags so much that it breaks the solder joints.  Not super likely, but it can.  Also the PCIEx16 power delivery is located towards the front of the slot (near the rear of the case) and the sag can cause momentary power loss.

 

Just use a stick or make something to prop (per the pic) the far right, closest to "us" side of the GPU.

If it works then it might be worth tolerating it.  I don't find them very attractive either, but that sag is even more unattractive.

I've put the bracket on fixed the sag had to raise it to fix the saga entirely so the bracket is a bit wonky

True just put it on

You could some fishing line and tie it to the corner of the card and then to the top of the case.  It's mostly invisible.

But honestly it's all way more work than it's worth.  You're probably going to just want to abandon your efforts and get rid of that card.  I'll take it off your hands.

Hah ha very funny anyway I have fixed the sagging problem with the bracket that doesn't look great but it works but what looks awful is the pcie cables 1 looks bad enough but no msi had to put a pointless 6 pin connector on this card so I have to use another pcie power cable making it look even worse but I quess cable mod extensions can fix it
