I recently upgraded to an AM5 CPU and my new motherboard has the USB-C connector positioned underneath the graphics card. This requires a straight cable, but the one that came with my case, a Lian Li 011 Mid, is a right-angled cable. I've searched through my spare parts and can't find the right adapter or extension. Can anyone suggest the best solution for this issue?

What motherboard are you working with? There’s a lot of options out there for adapters, especially since this is a pretty common issue with setup configurations.
The adapter you found is a good start, but it seems like it will still angle towards the graphics card. You're looking for a USB 3.2 header cable. I think something like this extension cable would do the trick.
It's a B850 MSI Tomahawk Max WiFi. My previous setup had the USB socket facing up, so the right-angle cable didn't interfere with the graphics card. Now it’s side-mounted and the right-angled cable is hitting the cooler. I’ll post a picture if that helps!
