My gpu is all the way in, the lock however doesn't move at all.

Try to pull the videocard out just a litte bit and try to undo the lock.

Again, proceed with caution and don't pull to hard on anything.

The problem is that I can't push down the PCI lock, as it seems to be stuck. Even with quite some force I couldn't get it down.

Thanks to everybody helping 

Push the videocard back in and see if the PCIe lock moves at all.

Once the videocard is back in, check if you can open the PCIe lock. It only moves ever so slightly. Then gently pull out the videocard, which might require just ever so much working back and forth.

On the IO side i can pull it out like 0,5 cm. Doesn't work though

 

Edit: the lock now moves a bit, however it still doesn't unlock

Check with the other PCIE slot, how you unlock the slot. Then check if the top slot works like that or not.
