The clip that holds the gpu on the PCIEX16 slot came off. Installed the graphics card anyway, and things look fine so far, and also gaming. Could that be a serious problem? Another slot is available, but it is PCIEX4. Do I try to swap the clip from x4 to x16, if that is possible? Or leave it that way?

Not unless you're physically jolting your computer or sending it away.

Imagine this clip acts like a safety belt, only needed when things go wrong (like dropping your computer or shaking it for some reason).
