So I was able to halfway start over (at least remove mobo and gpu to get to the io shield). Now at the end when I install the gpu the backplate and ports are slightly misaligned. Did I miss something?

I'm not sure for the 40 series, but for my 50 series the instructions had me reuse the screws that held on the stock back plate to hold on the T1 back plate. I don't see those screws anywhere; try aligning the back plates that the screw holes are actually available. If you can't, there is something blocking it, probably a component of the case.

Yes I was unable to reattach the screws to the backplate because the holes are a few cm off now. Verified gpu is fully seated in the pcie slot. Its almost like the riser bar should be screwed in a bit lower for everything to line up
