My 8800 GT does not fit in my PCI-Express slot in Antec 900?!

So here's the story - I bought today an 8800 GT, an MSI K9N Platinum motherboard, and am using an Antec 900 case - FOR SOME REASON, when I try to install the video card, it doesn't snap in all the way - if I push it down, the front end of the card will go all the way in, but then the rear end (where the DVI connectors are) is slightly rised, let alone not letting me have access to the screw hole to secure it - I'm using the stock risers that came with the case and yeah, it's not fully fitting - anyone else have an issue with this? I've been at this for a few hours now and it's just bugging me. 911 HELP PLEASE!!!
 
Here's a diagram of it via MSPAINT...

hopefully, this'll explain my issue
 
ok id get a hammer and whack the case till it fits but your not me so, it could be that your mother board isnt screwed in properly make sure all the gold screw things are underyour mobo
 
are you sure you put in the stand off screws first! most common mistake of building.
1)put in the standoff screws then screw on the motherboard to the standoff screws

I'm thinking that you just put the motherboard right in
 
okay, got the problem fixed - looks like one of risers was not flush with the rest of the other ones - screwed it in all the way and is now working - thanks for the input fellas! :)
