Hi guys just put together a case have motherboard and graphics card in it.

I booted to see if the graphics card was working and everything was fine, but I looked over the board and saw a slight bend.  Image 

Do you think it will be fine or should I try to fix it somehow...

to clarify, the IO shield is pushing the motherboard down against the standoffs, this is bending the motherboard.

It shouldn't hurt it. But might
It does seem like a pretty significant arc.

If you want to be 100% sure I'd try fixing it just to prevent issue's.

There might be a capacitor that isn't fully soldered on properly that due to this friction could just pop off or come loose.

In the end you be the judge, but personally I'd fix it.
