Here's the way I would do this:

Disassemble all of it.

Test everything outside of the case assembly. Drivers, games, etc. Hopefully this does it. Then if it does, inspect case and reassemble correctly using the right screws and the right standoff depth (if it's a thing)

If not, Inspect the card, look for missing bits, especially any components near the edge. Use light and magnification if you need it.

Clean everything very well and gently with alcohol and some qtips under a strong as hell light source with magnification

Update everything (bios, vbios)

Just want to post a conclusion to this, in case it's useful to someone with similar problems.

I returned the motherboard and got a new one (same make, model, etc.). This one works perfectly, no issues at all with the GPU anymore. So it seems the motherboard did indeed have a bum primary PCIe slot.

Thanks again to Zogo and down1nit for your help and advice!

Sick. great troubleshooting job!

Also, I do hope the number of 4070ti Super cards you own hasn't gone down. Errors are errors you know.
