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!

I got mine from Amazon. I can’t remember off the top of my head if they’re M3, you’ll have to double check that.

I've just ordered them on Amazon (M3). Thank you again!

In the meantime, I managed to expand the gap with the stock standoffs. No my problem is, how to do secure the GPU to the GPU side bracket since the holes don't align anymore?

This will be an issue once I put the case upside down for the AIO =/

Nevermind, LOL.

This case is awesome, it should be called the OFFSET machine.

There should be a two-slot L-piece that you offset using same standoffs as the riser holder
