Question GPU Won't Click Into Place or Screw Onto Bracket

[CLC42]

I have an NVIDIA 4080 GPU and an ASRock X670E Steel Legend motherboard. When trying to install the GPU, it is not clicking into the PCIE slot, and it is sitting too high above the bracket to be screwed in despite the fact that the GPU cannot go any lower, as it is sitting on the motherboard. I'm a first time PC builder.

I should also mention that I am opening the PCIE latch.

I am trying to install my GPU, but I am unsure where I am supposed to put the GPU's I/O brackets (the metal bracket's three fingers) by the case's slot covers. There is not enough depth inside my case next to the motherboard, and it is not possible to put the fingers outside of the case.

The fingers don't go on the outside anyway. It looks like in your case, you're going to have to put it as straight down into the slot as you can.

The fingers go in between the motherboard and the case.

outside of your case, there are screws , remove them, that should popup some cover
insert gpu
insert cover back

now here is some random picture from internet, its totaly unrelated with your case

but on this picture you can see holes from inside, where your gpu slides, your case must have them too, but they are covered, you just need to uncover them

I have been trying to put the fingers inside of the case, but the GPU stands up too high. The total length of the fingers is about 3 cm, but the depth in between the motherboard and case is no more than 2 cm.

that image is somewhat useless

what PC case is it

The case is the Lian Li O11 Air Mini.

The case is the Lian Li O11 Air Mini.

checked manuals and spacing seems normal, that means your mainboard isnt mounted correctly, try to loosen mainboard screws and slightly move mainboard away from io shields and try inserting gpu

case has holes for inserting gpu, image below

Thank you for the help. I have an ATX motherboard, and I mounted it using the #7 slots. I'll try to loosen the screws and move it to the right. If this doesn't work, I'll just have to have someone else take a look at it in person.

updated picture slightly, whats on picture is below your mainboard, ie mainboard is sitting on top of it

You need a new case I think. I have a 4080 and this motherboard and it fits perfectly. I also have a fairly new case.
