Hey i have the https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77V_LX/ mobo. The thing i wonder is if it makes any difference that i have my 7870xt in the PCI-E 2.0 16x (4x) instead of the PCI-E 3.0 16x?
Yes your GPU will be bottlenecked, you should put your GPU to the top PCI-E 3.0 X16.
On the second slot it will work with PCI-E 3.0 X4 (PCI-E 2.0 X8) very slower
Ok I tried putting it in the other slot but the computer just freezes in this slot? I also noticed that the card wasnt fully set in place, like it was almost hanging down I have no idea why, wasnt anything blocking it or anything like that.

Just try to take it out and put it back until bracket on slot blocks and see what happens
