Today I was installing my motherboard and other components into my new h440 case (which is amazing) when I noticed something strange. The screw holes on the far right hand side of the motherboard don't line up with the corresponding stand offs. The motherboard is about 1 inch smaller so the screw holes are closer to the back of the case. Looking up the dimensions of this motherboard it is said to be 225 mm wide, where as ATX is 244mm wide. This means there are no screws on this side so if you press down ie if you put in RAM the board bends quite a bit. Is it okay to leave it like this and is this normal is it isn't mentioned in any reviews? Thanks

Nothing unusual about that. I had the same here so I marked where the case should have the holes and punched holes with a nail and got the standoffs to screw into them. But you can just leave them. There should still be enough standoffs to support the mobo
