Can’t remove graphics card to access CMOS battery

Hi, I hope you’re all well.

Pretty much what it says in the title. My cmos battery has died but it’s behind the graphics card on the motherboard. I tried to unscrew the mount the graphics card is connected to but the screw won’t budge. I even tried to use a pair of pliers to loosen the screw from the back but to no avail. Not sure what I else I can do (I’m hoping I’m being stupid and tried to unscrew the wrong and it’s a pretty simple solution). Any help would be very much appreciated, thank you.

Just wanted to say, as someone who hopes to ditch windows and permanently replace it with Linux (most likely mint), a thank you to people with experience and knowledge on this sub who help absolute noobs like me (even if someone doesn’t comment no doubt many have benefitted).

I’m not going to lie, I’ll read posts sometimes and it seems like you guys aren’t speaking English with some of the terms and things mentioned lol, but that’s on me to fix by continuing to learn.

I still have some anxiety of coming over to Linux but you guys do help lessen that, so again, thank you.
