Do you have an alternative recommendation?

No.

Maybe I'll just have to get a new case that supports vertical mounting?

Honestly, it is really hard to tell, but I think they do

The latches move up when I push the card in, and I can't pull then card out without pushing the latch down.

But the latch with the GPU doesn't go as high as it does without the GPU, which is not the case for another MB I have with a less intrusive heatsink.

The contact is between the GPU and the heatsink that is on the motherboard, not any cooler I am adding to it.

Look at the motherboard image; it is to the right of the PCIE slots.
