While working on the installation, I realized the graphics card was starting to detach prematurely and later found out the locking system had disappeared entirely. I’m not sure if it was damaged or simply vanished without a trace. Concerned about this missing component, I’m now searching for a suitable replacement. Would using a micro center work? My motherboard is an MSI Z59-A Pro.

You could remove the lock mechanism from the unused PCIe port and fit it into the graphics slot.

it's good as long as you mount your GPU firmly onto the case

You'll likely need a GPU brace eventually, whether you go with it or not. I suggest using the pole-style bracket rather than the one attached to your case's PCIe slot. It's not a strict rule, but it works well.
