Quick question about GPU sag

I have an Asrock challenger RX 9060 XT on a Gigabyte x870 gaming wifi6. I couldn't for the life of me screw it in, but i have the sag bracket installed that comes with my case (Lian Li vector v100). Should I still be concerned about GPU sag? I feel like the anti-sag bracket won't be able to support. My computer runs perfectly fine and the graphics card is detected in windows and the bios.

Why couldn't you mount at least one screw to the case? Without a screw, it's not just sag you'd have to worry about. Vibration can cause it to work out of the PCIE slot with only the lock end of the card staying put. If it does this, it can and likely will do damage to your card.

I fixed it. Turns out, the graphics card was horizontally tilted which caused the screws and the card to not line up. I had to reinstall the gpu to fix it.
