I dont wanna break anything trying to force something is this really the place where this goes? The slot even has a split end that doesnt match up to my gpu slot shape.

There’s a protective plastic cover on the PCIe slot on the GPU. Pull it off.
The gpu has a cover on the PCIe connector so it doesn’t get damaged in shipping, you have to take it off first.
Take the cover off the connector on the gpu.
hahaha, take the protective cover off of the GPU contacts
I LOVE THIS! <3
Are you by any chance a mom?
You need to take the plastic cover off the PCIe slot.
Take the cover off and try again my dude

It’s like the guys with the Dodge Challengers leaving the yellow spoiler guards on
Going to need a bigger hammer!
Oh buddy I love this post
The help in here is restoring my faith in this sub
I ain’t built a PC yet and I knew immediately and was excited to read the comments lol. Glad this was an easy “fix”, haha.
Remove the PCIe condom.
Oh man, thanks for the chuckle.
Seeing as you got it figured out.
Just want to pount out, when you said PCIe1. I immediately thought you were trying to install it into a PCIe x1 slot instead of a PCIe x16 slot.
Lol that black thing on pci-e is plastic. Take it off
I respect you for not deleting this OP, hopefully this will be a fun lesson in computer building for you.
With all the information at our fingertips and people still come to Reddit to ask questions
Take of the cover and itll fit, u might have to press it down too hard for comfort tho, its rly stressful
unironically the funniest post of this sub
Computer building advice: Measure twice, cut once. Slow is fast. Remained grounded. Your workplace must be an oasis and zen garden with tall walls, sound-proofing and a locked door. Green felt is your friend. When in doubt, take a beat. Only ever work with someone much calmer than yourself. Aziz, more light!
You need to remove the plastic cover.
Also your SSD should be in the top M.2 slot, that bottom one is likely limited to PCIE Gen 3.
Remove the plastic protection on the GPU side of the port, it’s a classic.
It won’t fit step computer!!!
Oh you poor soul.
If it doesn’t fit, don’t force it. just ship it to me. I’ll give it a loving home
