They are called brackets when attached to an expansion card.

When used by themselves to simply cover an expansion slot in a computer's case, they are often called slot covers.

I know the empty ones that just cover a slot as blanking plates, not slot covers. – Mike Scott Oct 10 '18 at 10:22
@MikeScott Ive heard them called a few different names when just covering a slot, but slot covers what I hear the most. – Keltari Oct 10 '18 at 10:33
