youll hinder the cooling a bit, not noticeable i expect, you should be fine. i would loosen the screws on the wifi card and push it down a little (dont force it and risk bending) just get as much space as you can then refasten the screw. 

I have just installed my house but it is touching(EDIT: very close) the back of my wireless card is that okay?

its going to affect cooling but shouldnt be too bad, do you not have another slot you can install the card into? as long is it doesnt actually touch the blades it will be okay if there are no other options. 

If you agree with my advice/Recommendation please give me a thumbs up. Thank you

It doesn't touch the blades, but I don't have any other 16x pci express slots anyway, it's a micro-atx mobo

you don't want them to be touching. If you loosen the screws on the graphics card and wifi card you should be able to move them apart enough for them to no long touch each other.

As long as there's no contact, It'll be fine, I'd be surprised if it made any noticeable difference. People worry about airflow more than they need to.
