Is there a pcie 4.0 riser cable compatible with a shift 2.

When looking at the sockt top down. With the lock to the bottom the cable comes out of the left od the sock. Every cable I can find is standard what the cable coming out of the right.

This is not good with the shift as the riser sits flat the back of the motherboard tray.
Al get a photo latter to help explain
 
Have a look on the rainforest site for Link up pcie 4.0 riser cables. They have what appear to be cables that come out of the socket both left and right. Not sure they will be compatable with the Shift 2 because that is a funky case. EZdiy also have a variety of cables on the rainforest. Pics would really help , hard to visualise what the issue actually is.

Just a quick question. Why do you need a pcie 4 cable ? 4090 is fine in pcie 3 but I understand the 6600xt is not ideal with pcie 3

Ever time bios is reset the bios pick up a pcie 4.0 gpu and auto sets pcie 4.0 on the motherboard. This with a pcie 3.0 cable is not good. And I get lock ups and refuses to boot.

I have to strip the system and boot on my desk to change pcie to 3.0 in bios. This it's ok. But I still get a black screen every now and then in windows.

I'm just about to strip my system again... I'll add a photo of the cable now
 
If you look at the cable you can see it comes out the left and wraps round to go under the motherboard. The righthand side sits flat to the motherboard tray so I need one link the photo. I did some Googling and couldn't find anything but I will look up what you said.

I see the issue now. You can get left or right versions so if you get a left version and turn it around the cable will come out the correct side. Stock is terrible but I did find a link up left angle 15cm 28cm and 0.5cm available, not cheap but you can get what you want.
