Mobo that can fit a GTX 1080 EXOC SNPR WHITE

Hello there! I have recently purchased a Galax GTX 1080 8gb EXOC SNPR WHITE and just found out to my dismay that the GPU won't fit on my motherboard which is a Gigabyte B360M-D3H. The GPU's backplate hits the mobo's ram clips, thus preventing the GPU from being properly emplaced. I would like to see some recommendations from the community on what motherboard should I replace my current one, preferably an ATX one this time though not a Z one as my processor and RAM are not OC-able.

Use the lower PCIe slot?

I've tried that too.  The GPU hits the front panel connectors unfortunately.

How about the ROG STRIX B360-H GAMING or the B360 AORUS GAMING 3? The Asrock B360 Pro4 seems to be unavailable in our country.

The OP said they don't need a Z series chipset motherboard since his/her CPU can't overclock anyways. Read the full post before saying something.

The ROG B360-H is a good motherboard

Do you think it would have enough clearance for my GTX 1080?
