r9 280 bent ? help

[Carter fields]

Hi,
i was removing my graphics card from my case XFX R9 280 3GB GDDR5 and it took quite a bit of force to get it out and it got jammed a little bit Where the ports of the card are so one of the metal things that line up with the slots on the case like were HDMI etc are displayed got kind of jammed i am worried i may have damaged the card.. its not bent and its working the same as before. pcie slot wasnt damaged either,...... am i overreacting ? is just this card is 3 months old and in great condition.. and im worried i might have damaged it,
do you guys think its okay?

So, uhm...

nothing is bent, it's functioning perfectly, you aren't having any issues with it... and you're worried why?

it got stuck in the pci port at an angle and i had to get it out.. and it just felt uncomfortable.... displays same i was more worried about the mobo. and my GPU is my baby

I feel you, but if it's working exactly the same and you can't tell that there's anything wrong with it...

there's probably nothing wrong with it.

We all have those heart-attack moments; mine was when I heard a crack and thought I had installed the waterblock too tight and cracked my GPU. (Turned out there was a plastic washer on one of the screws which I had put on the wrong side.)
