Hello everyone,

today I was trying to install a new XFX RX 580 GTS in an old build, but things didn't go as smoothly as I hoped.
There seems to be a slight bend in the metal of the GPU, making me unable to correctly insert the card into the PCIE slot.
I'm not quite sure whether this bend is not supposed there, as it is the first time I have come across something like this.

I attached a picture to show the metal bending upwards (first picture top left). There is also a small icon for which I cannot find any
description, perhaps indicating a solution.

Can anyone advise me on this problem?

For all people who have the same problem: I fixed it by slightly bending the tabs with my fingers, and now the problem seems to be solved.
