Im 95% in, would it still work?

 

Im unable to apply pressure Since the motherboard is loose on the right side, would it work? what should I do?

If you can see that it is not all the way in, I would say to support the bottom of your board with one hand, and apply the pressure with the other hand. Even if the board is not loose, you should still do that to avoid flexing the board when possible. That should work for you.

LAN Rig: R5 3600X @ PBO, RTX 2070, 32 GB DDR4 3200, Dan Case A4-SFV V4, 120mm AIO for the CPU

HTPC: i7-7700K @ 4.6 GHz, GTX 1050 Ti, 16 GB DDR4 3200, AliExpress K39, IS-47K Cooler

Router: R3 2200G @ stock, 4GB DDR4 2400, what are cases, stock cooler
 

I don't have a problem...

Try and pull it out without toughing the tap. If you can it is not okay, if you can not then it is fine. If it pulls out try putting your hand behind the 24pin on the motherboard to support it when you push it in.

It's not always the case. The board can depend too. I've seen some mid ATX boards that have garbage designs. There is an inch strip of board that isn't designed to be supported by standoffs. Very bad design. Cases are designed to fit a variety of boards. They have holes drilled for each standard border size. If your board isn't designed to be supported with standard mounting holes, it's not the case design, it's the board design.

 

If you cannot get a finger directly underneath that is fine, just put your fingers on the side of the board and and support it the best you can. If it's not in properly, it may come loose during the worst moment, such as Windows update installation, BIOS update, or something else that could do more harm than good. You want solid connections to won't come loose.

@Ryujin2003 I only have place to put my finger, But with the amount Of force I assume it need, It will literally cut/crush my finger.. If I decide to put little peace of card board directly behind the 24 pin, so it protect the board from that pressure would that work ?

I guess the cardboard should work, but I would worry about potentially damaging the solder points on the bottom. But that's me. I baby my gear.

 

You shouldn't crush or several your finger. It shouldn't need all that amount of force. Just a little but of wiggling to get it in properly. If you look, does it look like the 24pin is seated all the easy in? Is it flush with the connector? I've never heard an audible click before when putting my stuff together.

@Ryujin2003 im missing like 1mm the little clip thing on the side, doesnt secure.. I would like to be has much carefull that I can be, this is very frustrating 

I wouldn't worry about brute force. Just support it so the board doesn't crack or bend. And I would just wiggle it a little as your push down. You should not require your whole body weight to apply. If you have to put a bunch of weight into it, something is wrong with the interface or pin connection. In that case, make sure there isn't any debris in the connectors of the MB agreed PSU.
