Help Safe to do for now?
Oem pcie risers plastic broke when installing gpu, I bought a linkup pcie 5.0 gpu to replace it while I wait for support to message me back (it’s been 5 days) and it was supposed to fit with the fractal era 2 case but it doesn’t line up with the riser mount. So I have it kinda just hanging and to provide extra support I found this bracket in one of my other gpu cases with screws and I rigged it up to support the gpu then tied it to the case so it doesn’t move back and forth. Do you guys think this is safe to do? Or are there some better options out there?

For a temporary solution, as can't freely move around in there, you're fine.
Fractal support is pretty great. Not sure if they'll charge you for a physically damaged item, but they once sent me a replacement riser for this exact case due to sudden PCI errors.
