[SOLVED] GPu doesn’t click in motherboard slot

[jq0213]

My GPu does not click in my motherboard slot.

It does click into the right side but doesn’t go into the left, see picture of what I mean:

What am I doing wrong?

There is no clip on that side, never has been.

I know but it just doesn’t go inside, it fits into the right side but doesn’t on the left

Well that image isn't going to help with that.

Is your motherboard mis-aligned? On the standoffs (if applicable) correctly?

If you remove the motherboard from the chassis, does the card go in?

There are some tolerances involved, it could be you got a slightly larger card and the slot is slightly under spec. Only seen that once with some mismanufactured memory slots, and the board manufacturer was well aware.

The graphics card will have a tab that extends down into a gap between the motherboard and the back of the case. Try loosening the motherboard hold down screws a bit.
that should allow the motherboard to slide back a touch and allow the graphics card to fit.
later, you can tighten the motherboard screws.
