I drove several hours to upgrade my PC and bought a Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 case along with a 9070 XT graphics card. I was told the parts would be compatible, but the graphics card does not fit in the top horizontal slot because a solid section of the mounting-bracket assembly blocks it. I would prefer not to mount the card vertically, and I do not want to cut, bend, or permanently modify the case. Are there any safe solutions, or should I exchange the case or mounting hardware?

The exact card dimensions and case revision matter here, so check the GPU length, thickness, and the clearance around the horizontal bracket. If the bracket assembly physically blocks the card, do not force it or remove structural pieces. The practical options are usually using the case's supported vertical-mount setup, replacing the bracket with a compatible one, or exchanging the case for a model with enough horizontal clearance.
