I got a gpu and forgot to check clearance for the slots. Could I put my asus pci e adapter (x1) into a pci-e x 16 slot. I am using the b250m pro 4 motherboard. Here are the links to both products:

Yes. You can install the PCI-Ex1 wireless card in the bottom PCI-Ex16 slot without issue. While it's an x16 slot, it only wired for x4 (and your card is only x1).

If you didn't purchase the wireless adapter, then you should go for an USB driven wireless adapter and save you that PCI-E slot. I'd say not to go for that wireless card since it'll interfere with PCI-E lane allocation and the card will under perform when subjected to placement in a chassis.
