It should work just fine, your trying to connect a GPU with a PCI-E connector to a motherboard with a PCI-E slot xD It will connect to that slow and work just fine as long as the slot your using is a 16x slot and not a 1x or 4x slot. So it is usually the very top 16x slot you want to use. Also, since your looking into a 1050 ti make sure the motherboard doesn't have a slot limit for power, I had an older motherboard that limited the powerdraw through the slot and wouldn't let me OC my card very far because of voltage limits.

There is a capacitor right behind the slot, but it shouldn't effect the lock from locking on the card as it should be over far enough and there should be know issues.
