Hey everyone! I'm building my first PC, and I'm currently testing the components outside of the case. I'm facing a bit of a dilemma with my GPU, which is an AS Rock AMD RX 9070, and my motherboard, the Steel Legend B850. When I try to insert the GPU, it seems to fit in the slot, but it wobbles a bit side to side. It also doesn't feel like it's fully seated, as I'm unable to get it to click into place despite applying a decent amount of pressure. The lever is up, so it does stay in, but I'm not sure if it's secure enough. Any tips or suggestions on how to fix this?

You might just need to push down a bit harder, making sure to apply even pressure until it clicks into place. It can feel a bit daunting, but that often does the trick!
Is there a risk of damaging the GPU if I push too hard? How fragile are these components?
