The little tabs in my GPU's bracket are too big for my case

So, i bought a Gigabyte GTX 960 "Windforce", i tried to connect it and it didn't fit. After a little bit of investigating the GPU and the case, i realized that the little tabs in the GPU's IO bracket's ends are too big for my case.

Some random Google pic i found of an IO bracket :

I AM going to buy a new case eventually, but i wanted to know if this is an issue that can happen even in modern PC cases.

The one i'm planning on buying is NZXT's S340 Elite or H440 if you're wondering.

Those tabs should absolutely fit. I think you may be having issues aligning your card. I usually push my finger through from the outside of the PCI I/O of the case to help guide the card into the slot and seated into those tabs. I've yet to come across a case that didn't work with those tabs.

Those tabs are a standard size, and so any standard case should absolutely work.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Maybe you have some cables behind motherboard tray which obstruct somehow the holes ??? ?‍♂️

Motherboard could not be installed correctly in the right location, might be off a tiny bit.
