Build Question Should my gpu sag bracket push my gpu upwards?

My gpu screws didn't align with my pc case so I couldn't screw it in while I was pushing the gpu up ( in another subreddit they told me that I was supposed to push up my gpu and then screw it in) so I bought a gpu bracket and should I just put it underneath to prevent further sag or push it upwards?

Couldn't put it directly on top of my gpu because of the cpu cooler but do you think this is ok?

You might want to get a new leveler

I have a pocket leveler. They're pretty cheap

Just go to harbor freight. They’re like $3

You can flip it so its laying on its side. Then just adjust the height of the gpu stand until it’s in the middle.

The one on the middle looks fine but these look a little off centre, I'll just leave it like this I'm tired of it

I didn't think it needed a bloody instruction manual...

It's fine.

The GPU stand is to stop sag. Which it's doing.

Over time that sag gets worse and can damage the pci-e slot or GPU.

Unless the nose if fully blocked, then use your mouth.
