You're dealing with a tricky setup. It sounds like your 5080 motherboard and 1000W PSU are working together, but getting the GPU to boot is proving difficult. After several attempts—adjusting alignment, using different power supplies, even trying to bypass the GPU—you haven't seen any lights or fan activity. The issue might be related to the motherboard's ATX connector or a faulty capacitor. Since you're far from repair shops and can't test multiple PSUs easily, ordering replacement parts for your current board could be the fastest solution. Let me know if you want help finding compatible components.
