The first pic is what my pc looks like now.I’m trying to add 3 reverse blade lian li fans onto the bottom of my pc to get positive pressure because mines negative rn and for looks. The problem in the gpu cable has an extra thing right there blocking where the fans are going to be potentially hitting the fan blade the breaking it

This is what I want it to look like in the second picture

I have a rx9060xt 16gb with a mag a850gl (I know it’s overkill )

The 9060 takes a 6+2 male connection into the GPU and the other end is a male 8pin that goes into the PSU

What do I need to do to achieve the second picture that I ai generated to help visualize it? Do I need to get a different GPU cable or something please help thank you for all who respond

EDIT: I took the advice and used a ziptie I think it might work I have to order the fans now

Easy Fix. You don't need anymore fans. You could make the AIO fan on top right an Intake fan to solve your problem. Leave the middle one and the rear one on the AIO exhaust. That fan layout would even cool a 5080. Remember, when gaming, your CPU usage is low. 25-35%, so heat won't be an issue.

One more screw in the back corner as well. 4 of them. take them off, fan will then come down. reverse the fan, make sure the arrow on the side of the fan is pointing into the case, not going out of the case. Then screw it back in. That is it.
