GPU Support bracket for the X299 R6E

[Brighttail]

So I pulled the bracket out today and tried to install it and had some problems.

First off I'm not sure if it came with screws because the normal PCI bracket screws are too short. I have a few extra long ones which should work but I end up only being able to screw one of the two in. When that screw is in, the bracket ends up turning inwards and I can't get the other screw in. Even then, I can try and slide the bracket up to support my GPU, but I guess because I have an EK waterblock on it, the rubber pieces are too short.

My guess is there are no extra parts like some of the Atlas GPU support bracket kits I have seen, which comes with custom screws and extra rubber pieces.

So simple question, anyone been able to make use of this item?

I abandoned it as well because;
A/ my Corsair carbide case holds mobo upside down, so bracket is on top,,, no good there!
B/ my Corsair obsidian case is right way up but card, like yours has an EKwb water block so no way it fits That.
C/ I find on the R6E the slot holds the gpu really firmly, so I settled for that!
I have looked at the bracket, I’m sure it could be fitted with some form of stand off lugs to support gpu.*

Yeah I think it would fit a normal card, in fact I went down stairs and tried it on my non-watercool build and it works fine so .. oh well. Thanks!
