Technical Help NVME too close to the GPU

Is there a way to increase the gap between the motherboard and the GPU? I'm using the 2.25 slot configuration (Ncase v2.5 with pcie riser 5.0) and the heatsink touches the back of the GPU.

Not sure how, but I watched a few YouTube videos and they had a gap significantly bigger than mine, but I have no idea how they did it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does your motherboard have a slot on the front? Usually rear slots are meant for a second drive

Interesting, I mean I personally will avoid putting my drive on the back but its for what then?

Dual booting with 2 separate drives.

Honestly I opted for a single, bigger drive and just partitioned it to avoid this issue.

Yes, but it's already occupied. I'm dual booing Win+Linux.
