GPU sat correctly?

Just got my TUF OC 3080, installed and started using it. However, it looks as though it isn't sat correctly? I've had no issues with it, no issues with booting the system, so not sure if this is just the way this specific GPU sits?

Looks like the side where the PCIe lock is not fully seated, although I can be wrong due to the angle of the photo. Kinda looks like it's at an angle like < and not parallel.

PCie lock should snap into place to keep the GPU seated. Give it a little nudge, wouldn't harm anything tho. 

I did hear the lock snap into place, but then it looked like this. Maybe take it out and reseat it?

Nope you should be fine then 

 

Just tried reseating it before you replied, yeah it's sat in so I guess that's just how this card sits in the slot!

It's the same with my ROG STRIX 3090. The exact same actually. I think it's just how the 30 series ASUS cards are made, or well, some of them lol
