I'm having trouble getting my 9060XT Sapphire Pulse graphics card to fit into the PCIe slot on my motherboard. I'm not sure what the issue could be, and I could really use some help figuring it out.

Have you tried removing the protective plastic cover from the GPU? That often trips people up when installing a new graphics card!
Make sure the latch on the PCIe slot is in the open position when you're trying to insert the card. Also, check if there's a little plastic cover that needs to be taken off from the GPU.
Check the PCIe slot for any debris or obstructions. I remember someone posting about having a similar problem because there was a tiny piece of broken plastic stuck in the slot that prevented the card from seating properly.
It might be helpful to see what hardware you've got. Maybe share some pictures too?
So, it's a 9060XT Sapphire Pulse paired with a B650 Eagle motherboard and a Chieftec Night Hunter case. I don't think anything else should be causing this issue.
Yeah, this has happened to me a couple of times! Just double-check to make sure that's off.
