so as i was installing my asrock z77 extreme 4 mobo 1 of the black cover pieces felt like it bent up like as if you were taking a lego apart from another one it felt like that but didn't come off it just popped up on one side so i pushed down with no force and it felt like it went back into place with no problems my cpu wont be here until next week or so so i cant test my mobo please help and to add to this I have a feeling that the black plastic part is just for protection and looks because it feels plastic and like its covering something on the board theres 2 of them on the board and i'm not sure which one popped out

What black plastic thing are you talking about? One of the heat syncs? If so, look on the back of the MB and see if the push-pin feet holding it are expanded behind the MB. It nay not have been securely pressed in place in China.
