What do you mean by it does not fit? Is it too long, or do you have a low profile case where it is too tall in the slot?

The "CPU Cover" is pare of the cooler for the CPU. You have 2 choices, you picked one of the Longer versions of the 1050ti, you can return it and buy a shorter one like this:

Which is what I would highly recommend.

Or you can replace your CPU cooler, which I don't reccomend because there is no guarantee that the new cooler won't get in the way of the card as well.
