I can't seem to get the spring retention screws back into the back of the card I was replacing the old thermal paste with some new stuff but when it was time to screw the GPU back together but the screws would not go in. I've made sure that the heat sink and the GPU holes are aligned but when I start to screw it back in they don't screw in I can see that their properly placed in the holes. I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong. Any help would be appreciated. The card is powercolor 7870 myst .
