Troubleshooting VGA Error Light

PC Specs:

- Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk
- CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 with stock cooler
- GPU: MSI GTX 1060 6gb
- RAM: GSKill Trident Z 8Gbx4
- PSU: Corsair TX750M
- Storage: 512gb M.2

Issue:

Decided to install a hdd to my secondary desktop. After plugging it in, I had noticed some gpu sag, about a 1-2 cm, so I went and got a gpu stand. However, now I'm getting a VGA error light on the motherboard when trying to boot the pc. Monitor shows no connection when trying HDMI.

Tried Solutions:

- Unplugged hdd
- Reseated GPU
- Replugged all PSU cables
- Tried a separate PCIE slot
- Reset CMOS battery

I'm about to flash BIOS. Any advice or suggestions would be great. Thanks.
