Dell MDDTD Riser 1A length interferes with PERC H330 mini inside R740XD

I'm doing a slow-rolled GPU conversion for a 740XD and after buying the Riser 1A (MDDTD), it will not fit with the existing PERC H330 mini due to the length. Do I need to buy a PCIe RAID based card or get creative with routing the cables and other connectors?

Hello,

 

Can you let us know the configuration you have and what configuration are you trying to achieve?

Did you get the GPU enablement kit.  Part# 330-BBMO?

Are you using it in slot 1 on riser 1A?

 

What is the GPU you are using?

I'm using the Dell RTX 2000 Ada. I'm adding the various pieces for the GPU enablement kit (490-BEIX) indivdually since I can't buy the entire kit. I'm just adding a single RTX 2000 Ada for now so I'm just going to use Riser 2 or 3 for the x16 slot.
