GPU won't align with case to screw in

[HopelessGPU]

I had posted about this issue 2 days ago but sadly I hadn't taken a picture of the situation at the time since I put all my pc parts back in the box. But after looking on the internet I'm not the only one since it has to do with the actual case than user error.

 

Here are some pictures that I've seen on reddit of people complaining about the same thing as I was. 

 

As you can see it doesn't align but then you think "Try pushing it up a bit to align the thumb screws" but leaves it to the issue on picture 3.

All these things are the exact issues I had, at first I thought I was installing the GPU wrong and that it wasn't slotted in all the way so after reseating the GPU 3-4 times I realized it wasn't me. Its actually quite hard to notice these imperfections on the case from a outside perceptive if you don't have a GPU slotted to see them.

just push it slitly back.

 

pic 1 and 2 are different ceases...

 

if pick one just push it slitly back

 

if pic 2 there a screw in the way...

 

if the gpu is flush but not alinged then push it slitly back. if its not flush then some times cheap cases dont have a wide enough slot for the pci bracket to fit you might need to cut it a bit.

 

i would look at the case pci slot cover first and see were the problem is first.
