Looking For Solid SLI Bridge That Goes Over Two PCI Slots

I have an MSI Mpower Max and a 3 way sli bridge I had laying around. It will fit on the bottom but my GPUs decide to run in X4 and not work in SLI. There are 2 PCI Slots between each card. Heres a picture to better explain http://i.imgur.com/wzafpES.jpg . I can confirm these 2 slots work as I am currently using it on a flexible one.

I really do not want to use a flexible SLI bridge so something like this EVGA Pro SLI should fit right? http://www.evga.com/images/forum/3-way.jpg

I only want a solid one for aesthetic reasons.

I was just looking at Amazon reviews for it and it says the 3 way does not fit on their motherboard thats the same setup as mine. X16 - 2 X1 PCIs - X16. I have a 3 way SLI bridge thats old and doesn't work and I just tested it and it does not fit so do I need a 4 way for 2 gpus over 2 pci slots?

Edit: Review says they have a gigabyte z87x-ud5h which is an identical to the mpowers layout except the slot above the 3rd pci x16.

I just bought a 40mm evga pro from the my local store and it fits. I already had a broken 60mm and it didn't fit because it was a little bit to long so its pretty obvious what the length was.
