Question GPU kickstands

[Ender11235]

My Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 is a little saggy. Not sure why, its not even a heavy card. Thinking of getting a vertical kickstand for it but they all look like cheap pieces of crap.
Can anybody recommend a quality kickstand?
Here's a link to the type of stand I'm talking about:

All opinions are appreciated
Thanks

if you have a window in the case, why not get creative. i've seen all types of stuff used to help prop up the gpu. such as: various figurines that happened to be the right size, some solid plastic that doubled as a mount for rgb lights in a cool pattern, and even 3d printed solutions that complimented the overall build.

perhaps if you thought about it, you could come up with a solution that was not as boring as what you are seeing in stores.

The card has a backplate, it shouldn't sag/ flex at all. Are the screws in the expansion bracket tight? Is the power cable at least not pulling down on the GPU?
I've had good results just tying up the power cable so it's lifting on the GPU.

@tennis2- When I say sag I mean a couple degrees that is only noticeable because of a parallel heat sync that emphasizes the slant. I'm really just using this as an excuse to waste money on pointless cosmetics.

@Math Geek- I like the way you think lol. I'm just lacking inspiration.

Here are a few made from legos:

lol, i didn't say legos, but i was sure thinking it

i've used them myself for this purpose. so long as it can handle the bit of heat in the case, anything should work really.

The NZXT Puck Man is kind of funny too:
