I don't remember and I am not near it, but some pcie 1x slots cannot be used because they don't have a slit cut on the right hand side. But that is not really that big of a problem because one can use a Dremel tool very carefully to cut that slit in the pcie slot plastic.
Dremel is probably a bit overboard, a utility knife will do it. But you're right, there can be required modification (or just using a 1x to 16x riser for ~$2 from AliExpress)
A utility knife is probably a much better tool!
