Removing a GPU

Hi, I am in the middle of a build, and I need to take out my GPU in order to take out a couple cables, but I don't know how to undo the clip that would unlock the PCI-E slot. My motherboard is the Gigabyte B365M DS3H. Here is a picture of the motherboard where the clip/tab/locking thingy is visible. The little tab that it has is different than any motherboard I've ever used, and I can't find anything in the manual about it. Hopefully someone can help. Thanks!

GPU: ASUS Strix GTX 1070,  CPU: i5-6600k OC to 4.0 GHz,  PSU: Rosewill Capstone G750 750W,  Mobo: MSI Z170A Krait Gaming,  Case: NZXT H440 White,  Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8),  HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB, Mouse: Razer Ouroboros,  Keyboard: Razer BlackWidow Chroma, Mousepad: Razer Overwatch KB+M pad, Headset: Corsair Void RGB,  Monitor: 1x ASUS PB277Q 27" 1440p & 1x HP Pavilion 25cw 25-inch 1080p

you just have to get your finger in under the GPU and pull it down perpendicular to the MB. it's not one of the push to unlock like most. just a simple tab that you need to pull.
