Check if the PCIe port is irreparable and consider installing your GPU anyway.

Yes, it's a PCI-E port. (Note: the original post simply confirmed the presence of the slot.)

I see, you wanted to check if the title appeared damaged.

It seems the final screw is damaged—either torn or twisted out of place.

The connector could be dusty. It's not clear from the photo if it's damaged or not, but inserting your graphics card might reveal more. This seems to be a signal pin, which could mean you need to switch to PCIe x8 rather than x16.

It's a ground pin, there are several of them; it probably doesn't matter if they aren't touching. Look at the link in GPU-Z while running the stress test—if it shows x16, it's fine.

Using x8 instead of x16 would result in a noticeable performance drop.

Which graphics card, motherboard, and CPU are you using? I also need to know your current PCIe bandwidth.
