i recently built a pc in the thermaltake versa h15 case on the msi h110m gaming motherboard with a msi gaming x rx 480. The right side of the gpu is slightly lower than the left as it doesn't have any screws to hold a heavy card up. Should i unscrew and try to replace it or use something to prop it up. My msi motherboard has vga armour so isnt the pcie 16 port stronger and protected against this kind of thing

Yep! That should do the trick. As long as it wont slip and isn't too close to the fans :)

I used to have a Tri Fan GPU in the past that did the same. I use the same motherboard that houses my RX 460 to this day :)It didn't cause any major problems for me so you should be okay.

I propped up the right side with some lego bricks after I saw it online and I think it works is this okay to do
