Looks like maybe dust in the slot near the notch of the PCIe slot? Just use something that you can blow it out with.

Built a new pc last week and works perfectly , took out my gpu today as I wanted to spray paint the sag bracket and while I’m waiting for it to dry I notched the pcie slot didn’t look correct , am I reading to mcuh into this ? Will plug in my gou when the sag bracket has dried to test but I’m a bit worried as this is all new
