Hi guys, how are you all doing

Recently I bought graphics card to replace my old one. But I found that the bracket for my new card was a bit short to fit in my case. The bracket holder? on the case stops the card from being installed completely into the pci-e slot; it stops when it's half way through.

Help me out guys what should I do 🙁

Just in case, the case I have is the Corsair Carbide SPEC-02
and I'm trying to fit a Sapphire R9 380X in the case.
 
You say 'bracket for your new card is a bit short' and then you say 'the bracket on the case stops the card from being completely inserted'. I'm somewhat confused, but I'm thinking the card won't fully seat because the tip of the card's mounting bracket won't go fully into the case's card slot.
Check for any obstruction and try to feel where it is.
You can also trim something .
 


I'm sorry I'm very new to custom build computers so it's hard for me to explain. What I mean is that the mounting bracket will not let me fit the graphics card completley into the pci-e slot because the L shape part of the bracket, where you screw on to the case after installing of the card is too short.

Does that make sense? and what do you mean by trimming something?
