Can't fit where? In the case? You'll likely need to use a little force (or wiggling) to get the "teeth" (the bit that drops down past the motherboard) in place, then your should be able to secure it with screws in the case....

Could you post a picture of the issue you're having?

Have just seen this image, aslong as the card is installed in the PCI-E slot and the locking clip is in position so the card isn't moving around freely, use one hand with the screw driver + screw and put a little pressure with your other hand just to free up the hole.

You will then be able to install this screw without any force and the card will be securely fitted in place.

unclip her and remove here then replace her in strait witout pusing to the end since she is to far in on the clip side you have to push in middle of her .

Yeah, you just have to use a little bit of force to get everything to line up - it's not going to damage anything.

As for "what if I don't".... well, it depends on the orientation and the specific card.
A (relatively) heavy GPU, and a vertically mounted motherboard, you run the risk of damage to the PCIe slot, or a loose connection with the pins not making full contact; as a result of the weight of the card..... but provided you don't move the system, it *should* be ok, but there's no guarantee.

Looking at the picture, you don't have any major problems there - that's typical mounting. I'd just put the screw in (again, with a little force) as is intended. While the risk of damage is fairly low, it's just not worth the hassle not securing it.

ok, i screwed it by pushing the back of case. i hope it doesnt get damaged

 

[basarmuratoglu]

if it gets damaged , will that metal with the hole get bent orwill the whole card get damaged? thanks for helping guys

 

[scout_03]

it should be working without damage since you where needing only a few centimeters to put the screw in .
