Question Does it matter whether i put my graphics card in the first or second pcie x16 slot? ie does it give less performance in the second

I have a 1060 6GB and an Asrock b360m pro 4 motherboard.

i was just wondering if it made any difference i put my graphics card in the second slot which is where i have it right now. when i was installing it in the first one i believe that a small part on the motherboard is blocking the graphics card from going in the whole way and therefore not putting out any signal. when i put it into the second slot it worked fine. just wondering if there were any performance differences

Thanks in advance

It shouldn't really make a difference as the lower pci-e slots should do just fine, but generally the graphics card should always be put in the highest slot.

ok, i will see how it goes but it seems fine for the moment
