Yes here is a pic sorry if its hard to see

as you can see the red boxes are where the thumb screws screw into on the backk of the case, as you can see they dont line up and the GFx card is very lose not sure if this is the reason why my PC is booting

I have the EXACT same problem as OP. My case is a Cooler mater 690 II advanced. I'm beginning to suspect that Coolermaster didn't design the case as well as they should have.

And please, DON'T tell me to "use force". It doesn't work. To bend it far enough to make the holes align means that you'll pop your card off the slot, or break something.
