I/O Grill Problem With GPU Upgrade

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I am trying to upgrade my Mac Pro 2019 with a Radeon RX 6900 XT (it shows as a compatible card on the Apple site).
ISSUE: the card won’t fit with the I/O grill the way it is. (SEE PHOTOS)
QUESTION: am I missing something simple? I tried to remove the I/O grill, but I don’t see any tutorials for how to do that.
Thanks in advance!

+
+Thanks so much! Here's what I found out...
+
+I haven't upgraded a major component or built a computer in over a decade (and that was Windows!), so I was out of practice.
+
+I learned that PowerColor manufactures larger encasements for their cards. I have a GIGABYTE RX 6900 XT on order with a small chassis. It should work, and I will post an update.
