EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED

Hey guys, I just got an Asus hd 7950 dc2, I have a cooler master HAF case, and an EVGA P67 FTW board.

When I try to install the GPU, it feels like it fully slides in the pci-e slot, I hear it click and everything, visually looks good too, but I can't screw the card into the case, I can't use the plastic clips attached to the case either.

Problem is that the metal part of the GPU with the 2 or 3 holes where you put the screws in to connect the card to the case, is not flush with the case, there is like a quarter inch gap between it and the case. I tried to push the card in more, but it won't go anymore, tried 2 other slots, same thing.

On this case/mb combo, I've had a 3870x2, xfx 6850, his 6950 IceQ x turbo, diamond 6950, and a 6990, all installed no problem, in fact no GPU that I've installed in any case/mb has ever done this.......

Anyone have any ideas?

It was bent and not sliding through the motherboard to case gap properly, got it in now, had to bend the GPU bracket with pliers.
