I recently built my new gaming PC in the Corsair Crystal 280x RGB Case. I had everything installed and was about to put my RTX 2060 Super FE into the PCIe slot and then i realized that the GPU holes dont align perfectly with the ones on my case. My Motherboard is a Gigabyte Aorus B450 I Aorus Pro Wifi. I just cant figure out how to solve this problem. I would appreciate any help!

Beat it to fit, paint it to match.

 

But in all seriousness, I've seen this before, and some bending, stretching of the video card plate is required to get it to match up perfectly.

It won't sit straight by itself in the PCI-E slot, because gravity.

Push it up slightly (requires no force) and screw it in.

This makes me thing either the GPU is not seated correctly, or the motherboard was not installed correctly. 

 

Is there a gap between your rear I/O panel and your I/O connectors?
