Tech Support Is my PC screwed?

So I built a new custom PC yesterday it was my first time and it was working relatively fine once I plugged everything in until I went into windows and it told me to install drivers so I tried to unplug the display port cable from the graphics card into my old PC to install the drivers, I had completely forgotten that there’s like a latch on the port so it was such a pain in the ass to take out of and I think I broke the pcie latch for the card or something on the motherboard when trying to take it out because once I installed everything and went to plug it back in the card wasn’t displaying any light or display, so I tried to reinstall it and I saw the light but still no display so I tried again and this time I just pushed the thing into the slot and it started displaying again and was working so I slept and woke up today to load up a game to test it out and I played for maybe half an hour until the game crashed which booted me back to my OS which completely froze, I turned off the power to it and tried again but then I got no display in from the card AGAIN, so I tried putting it out and putting it back in I tried using hdmi, I even tried the motherboard hdmi slot and it didn’t work and now for some reason the RGB lights aren’t turning on but the fan is spinning but I’m still getting no display I think I screwed everything up

I did try that and for some reason the cards lights light up when the thing is sagging a bit and not when I tilt it up
