Bad Axe 2 graphics card retention lever?

I have a Bad Axe 2 motherboard, and I recently upgraded my graphics card. In the process of removing the old card, I appear to have broken the retention lever. The card pushes into the slot with no issues, and I have no problems tightening the screw.

Is there a problem with the rentention lever not snapping in as well? Is there anything I can do to fix or replace the lever without replacing the motherboard?

You're talking about the little white thing on the end of the PCI-E slot right? If so, I don't think it's necessary. It's only purpose is to ensure that a seated card stays seated. If you're absolutely certain it's seated, than you should be fine without it. The screw on the PCI cover gives it the most support anyways.

Yes, and thanks!
