The PC: HP Pavilion 590-p0055qe
The card: AMD Radeon HD 6570

I've tried slipping it in from the outside (obviously wrong & doesn't fit by 1/8" anyway), sliding straight down into case (waaay off, thanks to the card's bracket), and angling it in once it's in the case so that the bracket goes through (hooks halfway; see second picture).
With the bracket hooked through and the card slid down to the pc's slot, it pushes away towards the bottom and no longer matches up with the slot properly. It also doesn't look quite right from outside of the case.
The last time I installed this card was in a different pc and it slid into place no problem...
Is this just me being too chicken to pop it in all the way?
There's just the one open slot and I can't afford a new card for a good while, so really, really don't want to risk damaging either... OR driving 2 hours out to the nearest shop and paying them $50 to click it into place for me!
