make sure you have your mainboard properly configured for 16x PCIe bandwidth for the GPU.

I checked in HMWinfo and found out that is isnt on the 16X PCIe, it is on 8X.

The motherboard I have is a:

PRIME Z370-A | Moderkort | ASUS Sverige

Intel Z370 motherboard with 5-Way Optimization for one-click system tuning, and ASUS OptiMem for best memory overclocking

www.asus.com

The only things that is connected on the motherboard besides the gpu, cpu, memory is an m2 ssd and three hdds.
So how do I get the 16X PCIe on the GPU?

Please include/list your specs like so:
CPSU:
motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
OS:

You should be able to get into BIOS and choose the setting for your PCIe slot in which the GPU is populating. You might want to make sure you're on the latest BIOS update for your motherboard before proceeding.

To note, you haven't mentioned if your'e experiencing any problems with your gameplay which is why I'm going to say, you're overthinking that post made on eurogamer.
