If this were a Asus Motherboard, you’ll void your warranty due to damage (they will push away any warranty repairs to minor scratches or signs of wear on any part of their products).

But it is just the locking mechanism for the PCIe 16x slot, not really required. Just be sure to mount the GPU properly and fully inserted.
