Hey Guys,

As the title suggests, my GPU is not fully slotting into my mobo. It is being obstructed by the metal piece where you're supposed to screw it onto the back of the pc box.
Is my motherboard not level that its causing it to do this??
How would I go about fixing it?

My PC runs perfectly but I'm not comfortable having my GPU not screwed onto the box itself, as well as it not being 100% slotted in!
(Sorry for the noob questions)

Just push the case gpu til a screw can fit and screw it in...
Really common issue had that an both my builds....no damage to mobo or gpu will be made.
Just dont let it intie like that , it will break your pci-e slot

If the card isn't quite making it into the slot, you should still be able to screw it in.
This is usually caused by a poorly supported motherboard flexing as you insert the card, try supporting it with your hand as you insert the card.
Other than that, it could just be a cheap case that doesn't fit very well.

This all looks normal.
Push the metal bracket of the card towards the edge of the case so you can screw it in.
The depth this is slotted into the PCI-E slot is fine.
