Alright so me being an idiot I bought a motherboard used. I got a great deal on it. Its a Gigabyte GA-z87x-d3h. But the pcie x16 slot is messed up. the metal pin things are still there however the black plastic fastener thing is gone. I was wondering if there is a way to replace this? If so where would I purchase one? looks like it would just slip right on.

I added a picture to OP. And do you think so? I'm probably buying a second 280x so I would like to run crossfire if possible.
 
Oh, you mean the entire lane cover is gone.
I wouldnt recommend attempting to use that slot in its condition, and I havent seen any form of a replacement either.

The lane also appears to be damaged as well, the slot is smashed in the middle from what I can tell.

Guess that's why you got it cheap. That slot is unusable.
