Maybe you screwed in the standoff or screws for the standoffs too tightly, so the mobo is a little too low perhaps? I think it would work anyway as it looks like its making contact with the socket. Those are weird PCI-E slots, I wonder how they can get away without having a lock in the back?

If you cant see anything blocking it [really have a look] take the mobo out and insert graphics card into the virgin mobo...
If it still doesnt fit - then its the sli pci-e slots thats doing it - and those locks might need to be pulled right back before you slide/push the card in..

If the card fits into the uninstalled virgin mobo - then its your spacers and you could do with some tiny washers - or another set of them and screw two together for each hole.

Its not the pcie slots because if I want I can puch the back of the card down and lock it, but the card is then lopsided.

Here is what I got with the case.

Now if you notice it says there is 3 nuts for the copper bolts, but only 3!!!
Im realy puzzled as to why this does not easily fit.

Have you tried taking the mobo out so its a virgin board, then putting the card into one of the slots?

Cant really help you until you do that test..

If that fails its the slots no two ways about it.

Cards fit fine when not on tray. the tray is just too low or something.
