hello there, MarcGoodman
The rods and associated pieces that come with the Intel Arc A770 graphics card are likely part of the mounting hardware used to secure the card within a computer case. These components typically include screws, standoffs, or brackets that help to stabilize the GPU and ensure it is properly connected to the PCIe slot on the motherboard.
If you're missing this information, you can usually find a digital copy on the manufacturer's website. Or you can visit these links from intel here:
