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....
