Proxmox gpu passthrough seen on the wrong machine

I have a very unique issue that might have a simple answer but I can't really find it anywhere. I currently have two nodes on my rack running proxmox. One is an old gaming PC that doesn't have IOMMU grouping capabilities but has a single 8-pin connector for PCIe devices like my graphics card. The other is a mid-2000s rackable systems server that has no 8-pin connector for powering my graphics card. I ended up rigging my current AMD graphics card to be connected to my rackable systems node via a PCIe 1x in a 16x slot- which would then be powered by my old gaming pc via the 8 pin power connector. I'm using a riser I bought off of Amazon. Its still being detected on the gaming PC but not the rackable systems server which makes no sense to me.

And as a little optional side problem I think I ended up frying my rackable systems VGA output when I tried passing my Windows VM through it. I don't really care that much about it but it would be nice if someone had an answer as to how I could fix it. It WAS detected as an IOMMU group in proxmox until I used it. Now there's no output at all.

Here's some useful outputs- nd-node is my gaming pc and node2 is my rackable systems

root@nd-node:~# lspci | grep -e VGA 
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS780L [Radeon 3000] 

root@nd-node:~# dmesg | grep -e "IOMMU"`

[    0.153151] AGP: Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup
[    1.305592] PCI-DMA: using GART IOMMU.
[    1.305594] PCI-DMA: Reserving 64MB of IOMMU area in the AGP aperture

root@node2:~# dmesg | grep -e IOMMU
[    0.169332] DMAR: IOMMU enabled

I'm obviously not an expert on this.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
