Line up the board with the case and compare the positions. Are any of the extra standoffs lined up under the motherboard but not with one of the mounting holes on the board? If so, remove the offending standoffs. If there are standoffs outside where the MOBO will sit, don't worry about them.

How do I go about removing the standoffs? There are two I need to get rid of.. Ok the two that need to go are a bit different from the rest and look like they could be screwed off somehow. I will try now.
