[SOLVED] Wifi PCIe card won't fit

[TheKirk]

Hey guys. I'm building my first PC, and I'm having trouble fitting a PCIe WiFi card. It seems to be about 5 mm too short for the card to be plugged in to the PCIe slot. I could just screw off the bracket it's attached to, but that would leave the entire slot on the case open, and the card would only be fastened by the PCIe slot.

There is a low profile bracket included with the card, but that's not the one I'm using.

The GPU next to it fits fine, so it doesn't seem like heightening the MOBO would be a choice.

Have you seen this before? Am I missing something?

Here is a pic that helps to see what my problem is: https://www.imageupload.net/image/p7Etq

Relevant specs:

Card: Asus PCE-AC55bBT
Case: Fractal Design Meshify C
Mobo: MSI B550 Gaming Plus Max

I see that you have a GPU installed?
Did the GPU went all way into the PCIe slot?
If it did then, the WiFi card needs to be replaced.

Did you placed standoffs between the motherboard and the case motherboard tray?
If you did not, that's why it might not be reaching the PCIe slot.
