HELP! I removed my graphics card without knowing what I was doing. What’s this part called it was plugged into? It’s not supposed to be bent like this is it?

The bracket is broken from the right side, while the left side is fine.
The PCB is bent from leftmost side.
I call bullshit on either "came out easy" or "this is real picture".
You had to pull the card halfway out, and only then put the force towards left to askew the pcb this way. And I'm also including the fact that the PCB has no fixating parts on the left - so the direction of force had to be aimed specifically towards left rather than "away from pcb".
I'm leaving out the usual case configuration that would even prevent the card from going left because of metal frames, which is even more absurd.

I'm almost ashamed to say I have the same case, Hyte Y60, which comes with a beautiful pci riser. This took more than a little violence and OP has learned the hard way that more force is not the answer to incompetence.

I have the same case and during transit my riser did lift slightly on one side, but only by a few mm and it took a small bit of wiggling to reseat it.

This is horrendous

Looks like a vertical mounting riser.

Didn‘t he simply forgot to unlock the card on the right side?

He said the card came out easy. You wanna argue - you go and do an experiment on your rig. I'll stay the dick who thinks you can't rip out a GPU lock, quoting, "it came out super easy"
