As aatje said, it does not look to be a problem, those "teeth" are just a conductive surface, but if they overlap or are broken, then it could effect it, not really certain from that photo.

Anyway. Dot he obvious things first, make sure to reseat everything.

What port are you using on the card?
What monitor?

Im not sure if the problem was the graphics card or not but I did still send it in for a RMA. But, if there was something else that was wrong I need to know. I was using the PCI-E port along with the Dell S2240M.

This is my first build, so im a little un-educated about the process. I did notice another set of teeth on the opposite side of the card however, the instructions said nothing about them.

I meant which output port on the back of the graphics card. VGA or DVI? Adapter used?
Did you try a different port?
