Been trying to SLI and it wont recognize SLI for me with the top two slots. So i thought since one of the top two is a gen 2 pcie while the other two are gen 3 like the top one. I wanted to move a card down there to see if it would recognize SLI for me. But when i check in my bios for hardware it doesn't recognize the GPU in either bottom slot
Bottom two pcie slots don't recognize either GPU's while top two do for my motherboard

looking at your manual (pg 1-18 and 1-19), I don't see any disclaimers other than the recommendation to use E2 and E5 when running dual cards.Some boards disable one of the slots when a device is plugged into one of the other slost. I presume you don't have anything plugged into the PCIe x2 slot.
If you put matching gfx cards in E2 and E5 slots and they are not recognized, I would be returning the board (unless it's too late). Or contacting MSI for getting an RMA for it. Btw, Nvidia cards require a min of x8 lanes for SLI. So it won't work if the card is in the PCIe x16 slot that is only x4 lanes.
Hmm that was what i was afraid of. I never had the extra card tell recently its past the point for a return thanks though! But yeah i was putting a card in e2 and e5 and e5 would not notice anything in it only two slots that saw it are e2 and e4.
