T28 PCI space Problem

[Asslann]

Hi,

My GTX 550Ti doesn't seem to fit the T28 PCI slot area.
The behind part can fully go in and locked.
Is the front part didn't fully go in and my pc cannot detect.
The problem is that the part where we screw the GPU to the ports area limited me from moving in anymore as the screw area stops me.

Any advice or am I doing wrong?

Please help, urgent.

Thanks

No matter how I push, also limit by the part where we screw.

Please help...

Take a whole view of the chassis and GPU. Must be somewhere you did not do it right. Take the whole GPU and back of the chassis.

I found out what went wrong. It was because I used the long black screw to screw the mobo then it was quite tight backwards, reducing the space in front, that's why cannot fit.

In case you know, do I use the short black screw or the golden screw for the mobo?

Sorry for being noob. First time fix mobo.

Thanks

Edit: Or isit use the long black screw but keep it loose?

You need to use the golden screw on the case itself first followed by screwing in the motherboard so it creates a space between the motherboard solder contacts and your casing... Otherwise it can shortcircuit or the system will not even turn on...

Can take snapshot of area around the graphics card metal bracket fitting into the chassis?

Its ok I did the same thing as u when I first diy my own mobo instead of letting shop fix... Removed/attached like 5-6 times or maybe more

Loosen all screws holding the motherboard to the casing at the moment, refasten the screws after the graphic card fully seat into the slot.
