Pcie soundcard won't won't fit into slot because of case

[MatteRB26]

I've got a new Asus Xonar PCIE sound card today and went.to fit it, but I can't get the card in the PCIE slot because of the back plate. I've attached two photos - one where you can see the back plate of the card is snug with the case as I'd expect to screw it, and another where you can (poorly) see the card isn't actually in the PCIE slot at all. It's as if the board is too low or something, but my GPU doesn't have this issue and fits perfectly.

Without graphics card being correctly in its slow would say that standoffs behind mobo aren't correct.
(but that should also misposition rear IO)
Now conclusion is toward something being wrong in that back plate/bracket of sound card.

Lovely how Asus uses USB sound chip in internal sound cards...

So as it happens, it was nothing a little more brute force at the right angle didn't solve it's now in, albeit pretty tight. I was just struggling to get it snug with the case slots and also go into the PCIE slot, I'm wondering if maybe the angled piece of the bracket was slightly bent or something? No idea - but it's in and working! Feel a bit daft now...
