Loosen the back plate on the GFX card and see if you can get a few extra mm that way.
All so where the card screws into the frame of the case, there is 3 tabs on the card(last picture), the one closest to the camera looks like it has a gap of about 1 or 2 mm, while the other two seem to be bent down slightly and touching the frame.

Can you provide a picture of the back end of the card?
Short standoffs will not produce the fit you're getting. The only explanation is that something in the case is interfering with inserting the card.

Don't screw the card in first.
Get it in the PCIE slot first, then screw it in. Also the bracket on the card where you screw it into the case might be at less than a 90 degree angle. Try bending it a tiny bit.

ok guys its my fault that I have not been clear. So I took some more pictures with different (and much smaller ) video card as well as the IO shield .
10 different people have said get a taller copper bolt or washers. I will do just that. Very upset with lian li. This 400 dollar product out of the box is defective or came with the wrong parts. In these pictures the small video card is in one of the pcie slots and it is fully screwed in and can not go any lower into the pcie slot (or any of the pcie slots, I tried them all).

Looks to me like that fan on your SB may be getting in the way. Try removing that and retesting the fit of your card.

i doubt its that, i have that same cooler and its VERY small, fits under my 8800GTS like a dream. my only guess here is that either A) you managed to luck out and get a card that wasnt put together quite right lol, ie the plate was put on too low or made too short or something. or B) it isnt going in straight enough to go completely down. other than that, im stumped  EDIT: i think one side of the dual slot isnt being fitted right, make sure both sides are inbetween the case and the little clip pieces that are slightly below and inbetween the motherboard and the case. which makes sense as to why your single slot card was fitting but the dual slot wont.

The PS/2 ports seem to be well centred,but as you get lower, then it seems the mother board goes out of line with the case.
Can you not speak to somebody from where you ordered the case ?
