The pic is so small that there is no detail.

 

Some cards are simply missing unneeded traces, however, I'm not exactly familiar with the 460.

The RX 460 , RX 550 / 560 and I think RX 5500 are only capable of pci-e x8, there's only that many pci-e lanes going into the gpu chip.

 

So the contacts up to x16 are not needed.  Some manufacturers leave them to make the card look better, or for the card to sit tighter in the slot, to have those pins inside the slot press on something.
