Well if you tell them you used a riser wrong they may tell you that you are not covered.
If you tell them my mobo does not see the card and nothing else you maybe covered.
I don't encourage you to tell them the truth or to omit some of the truth. your choice.
As to what can be shorted. when you do this.
psu
mobo pcie slot
riser
gpu.
In my btc gpu days of 2012 and 2013 I shorted 1 card with an improper pcie cable
In the spring of 2016 to nov 2017.
Of 50 mobos and 200 plus gpus.
2 bad mobos not my fault just bad.
1 mobo I pulled the pcie slot right out my fault.
1 mob I shorted my fault
1 dead cpu not my fault the only cpu I ever killed in a build an intel i7 6700k
3 risers
3 dead psus
the dead asus rx 480.
and may be more like 65 mobos
50 cpus
250 cards
so no ram ever failed
no ssd failed
no hdd failed
no usb stick failed.
1 gpu I killed
2 gpu's I sold died I got them replaced for the buyers.
1 mobo I sold I could not get them a replacement
2 psu's I sold I got replacements.
1 gpu a sapphire died and I could not get it rma'd
I think 100000 usd in gear has gone in and out of my house since April 2016. the gpu mining gear has under 5% fail rate with most getting replaced.
I don't buy sapphire cards anymore they have very strict rma rules.
30 risers I don't use many of them
