RX480 won't work if it's screwed

Enormous

I recently bought a used Nitro+ RX480 and I found 1 problem. If I screwed my gpu to the case, it won't boot. But if I just leave it unscrewed, it works as normal. I tried different gpu and I found that it's my gpu fault, others work fine even being screwed. Also, I tried placing my case horizontally, it likes my gpu won't work if it's placed vertical to a motherboard ( even it's unscrewed too ). I have to bend my gpu to make it works. I just wonder if it's fixable or something? Or I have to buy a new one. Thanks in advanced for any help.

Could be a short or a loose contact.
