What the others shared is something you need to post so others can help.
It appears that your gpu was a hybrid and still has the factory copper plate in place that helps transfer heat from the components to the AIO block cold plate. That copper plate is not present usually in the air cooled cards I've seen. I haven't taken apart a hybrid yet, but it looks like the plate in my Kingpin which you will need to remove eventually to mount a block on it. Your block more than likely is not going to work with your gpu if you bought the block for the wrong gpu. You might be able to sell it, but a little more research before you buy parts can go a long way to make sure you don't waste money. If you are not sure, you can post questions here or on other forums and members will help you. If you haven't done these things before, a youtube search can help a lot. Knowing what others have done and options you may have will help you in the process.
