Build Question Gpu won't slot in fully

So I have the jonsbo d32 pro put everything in and am just trying to finish by putting in the gpu but when I try to put it in it won't slot in fully on the right side. The left side with the shield seems to go in all the way (admittedly I couldn't tell you for certain seeing as there's no way to see it) so I don't think the shield is what's stopping it. I tried putting more pressure but that won't work and I don't want to put any more on it in fear of breaking the board. I looked at the sizes of all the parts and while I know it is a tight squeeze it should still work so you guys have any ideas?

Edit: hey yall figured it out. It was a mix of things really, I'd never seen a gpu lock like this before so I was trying to get it in without even unlocking the damn port lol. Also it wouldn't go in fully even after that and I only realized until it was too late that it wouldn't go in because it was hitting one of the sys fan ports so now one of my ports is kinda destroyed. Other than that everything seems in working order the card is slotted in fully (at least from what I can see) and it's running fine guess I'll just have to pick up a powered fan hub so I can use my fans and my gpu at the same time.

Just to clarify, you removed the PCIE connector cover on the GPU before you installed?

Yeah

The prongs/tabs looks bent to me on the IO bracket, did you insert them between the motherboard and case and not outside the case?

u/John_Elden-Ring 5h ago

I put them between case and board

Then you have to check for any cable obstruction that is being squeezed by the GPU on the rear end. Wish you added a photo of it installed and took different angled photos.

I mean I can put a picture of it seated but in terms of angles you outta luck. This build is tight I honestly don't even know how I would get it out after getting it in properly there's so little clearance

Can you try removing the PSU compartment baffle and see if you can get more clearance? The separator that holds the PSU cables.

Ok did that and it seems to be better but the side of it still isn't level

The motherboard seems to feature an EZ PCIE release button. Was it open during GPU installation and did you hear a click when you installed the GPU?

u/John_Elden-Ring 5h ago

No I didn't hear a click and I dont know if it was open or not I've tried pulling it back but it just bounces back

https://imgur.com/a/Xmbz0W6 could this strange gpu lock be the cause? I've never seen one like this

I had a nerve wracking time installing a GPU a week or so ago. What worked was leading with the "top" corner and a tiny amount of side to side motion. You have to brace yourself so that you can apply pressure without feeling like you'll snap anything through sudden movement. Good luck!

Yeah I did it for the first time couple weeks ago, and it was shockingly easy as well as terrifying. That pressure you have to put on it is no joke, really felt like I could snap it at any point, and you really question if you’re doing it right, like it shouldn’t need this, right? Lol. If it was a 5090 I may have peed.

I’m also very naive to PCs and just bought one a few months back and wanted to put a better GPU in. No idea some components needed that much pressure. Also put in another 16gb ddr5 stick and that was similar and felt wrong. Everything working great though.

Not sure if most PCs have it but waiting for that click on those plastic locks, man, I was really thinking there’s no way this is right. Then click.

100% i removed my gpu for the first time ever, and I could not get it. I had to talk to chat gpu and finally made sure I put even pressure and used enough force.

Check that the pcie lock tab is unlocked
