It's not the access to the Dc jack, but that the DC jack extends below the PCB. The PCB (being attached to the PCIe slot underside) is at the same Z-height a motherboard PCB would be at. That means the space behind the PCB before you hit the solid motherboard backplate is the same as the standoff height, or 6.4mm. If the DC jack is taller than that, it will prevent the card fitting as it would be pushed higher than the slot opening. The modelled DC jack appears to be the same height as the Mini-Fit Jr. connector, which is 10mm high.
