GPU Blocks USB/FrontPanel Headers on Crosshair-V?

Hello all, first post!

I upgraded to a Crosshair V Formula Z motherboard a little while ago, as my old mobo was bottlenecking my other components. When I went to install my two XFX HD7870s in the appropriate 16x slots, 1 and 3, I noticed the casing of the second card kinda "leans" on the pins for my front panel connections. It's not a big stress, and displaces the plugs by maybe a 32nd of an inch at most, so I figured no big for now.

However, now I have a couple of Corsair Link items I want to plug in, but the card is seriously blocking my USB ports.

Any other builders had this problem before? How do you get around it? I could notch the case on my XFX, but I kinda really hate that idea.
