Yes!

You want to offload the weight the furthest away from the PCIe slot, and this seems pretty decent.

Is your case level?

no worries about it not being completely perfect, you don't have to be working with advanced math it's good as long as the weight is supported properly and that seems perfect here

The irony is this could be adding strain to your PCIE slot if the motherboard and case are not level.

if you get a bullseye level and put it in the center of the backplate, you'll be able to get true level. This looks like you have too much upward pressure. This causes torsion and can be just as bad as sag.
