Hi, so I'm pretty much new to knowing about PC components, so excuse me in case I forget to include something.
I recently bought a new GPU (the MSI GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GT, it's this one in particular) for my computer.
Thing is, after managing to fit it in inside the case, and connecting it to the slot in the Motherboard, the backplate of the GPU didn't aligned properly with the free slot of my PC Case. I tried several times to see if I could place it correctly but nothing really helped, so I decided to work with what I had. It resulted in the GPU looking a bit "bent" in comparison with the motherboard and the PC Case.
Here are some photos for reference:

As you can see, the video outputs of the GPU doesn't align correctly with how the case it's like. Now, don't think I forced it in or anything! I gently placed it in the motherboard and gently tried to align it, but it still ended up that way.
After turning my PC on and installing the drivers, the GPU worked correctly and it's actually really good! I've been using it for about a day and it runs everything flawlessly, it's amazing. But I'm honestly worried that the fact that the GPU looks a little bit bent may affect the way it works in the long term. Should I worry about this?
In case you'd like an idea of my case, here's my PC model and my Motherboard is a MSI A68HM-E33 V2 (MS-7721)
