So I just got my flexible connector and damn if that card wont fit in the x1 slot...  I have to like shimmy it in and it sits at an angle in the slot...  Am I doing sometihng wrong or can this card not fit?

I had that same issue too directly on my motherboard.
What I found is a small capacitor on my motherboard was keeping the card from sitting flat out.

As far as in a flex connector, you shouldn't run into an issue unless something weird is going on with it.

you may have to cut the slot on your cable at the one end to fit the card in. Ive seen tutorials somewhere about that....
