Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

It's not screwed in, and you're going to be hanging a fairly heavy cable out of it. It'll probably be fine short term, but any vibration or movement of the machine or monitor risks partially dislodging the card.
It also looks like you have removed the bracket and reattached it outside the case, which will mean that the plug on the cable can't mate properly with the socket, likely leading to intermittent issues.
In short, it might work for testing the machine, but it'll cause you pain in the long term. Get, or make, a full sized bracket and it'll be much happier.
You're right the cable doesn't insert properly. :( I'm Hoping to use this machine as a headless server with a graphics card for jellyfin transcodes, and thought that it would be better to be partially secured like this than free floating, especially when I turn the computer back upright.
But if low profile to full-size adapter brackets are standardized, that seems like a better solution. It was just too funny to not take this picture.
You'll need a bracket that's designed for the card I think, but if you have a drill and there's a blanking plate you can canibalise you could probably make something good enough for a headless server.
It is a fun picture, I enjoy pictures of mildly horrifying kludges that do the job.
They aren't standardised as different cards have different connectors, locations of connectors, etc. If you aren't even running monitors out of it just run it without a bracket. The PCIe slot itself will secure it, especially because it's such a small card compared to a honking double-wide gaming GPU.
