Default HDX Cards Don't Fit in HP Z8

Hi everyone,
I'm building a Pro Tools workstation for my company made by an HP Z8 G4 computer with 3 HDX cards.

I'm using this guide to place the PCI cards in the right slots:

The issue is: I have no problem with the x4 slot, but regarding the x16 slots, the light blue flap located on the side of the pci slot makes the card phisically impossible to fit in the slot itself.

Anyone else had this problem before?

Thank you very much!

Did you release the rear locking bar? The one for extended cards??
