you may have to cut the slot on your cable at the one end to fit the card in. Ive seen tutorials somewhere about that....

I had that same issue too directly on my motherboard.
What I found is a small capacitor on my motherboard was keeping the card from sitting flat out.

As far as in a flex connector, you shouldn't run into an issue unless something weird is going on with it.

So I just got my flexible connector and damn if that card wont fit in the x1 slot...  I have to like shimmy it in and it sits at an angle in the slot...  Am I doing sometihng wrong or can this card not fit?
