You probably also need at least

I had the same problem, and finally discovered that the retaining screw was
pulling the far and of the card partially out of the socket. I finally
loosened the screw through the pcb, but found it such a precise fit in the
hole that I had to bend the bracket with a smallish pair of vice-grips in
order to move the retainer tab to the rear about 30 thousandths of an inch
allowing a much better alignment that did not jack the far end of the card
back out of the slot when the screw was installed.
