So I built a new pc and tried to align it with the io shield but no matter what the pin sticks out for the ethernet and one usb port so i took them off.
Every standoff goes on besides one in the corner here's the picture:

There also seems to be a "positioning standoff" in the middle of the mobo that doesn't let me budge the mobo to align it.
Because one of the ports for the case are there, whenever I take that out I gotta be careful because that side of the mobo bends a bit.
What should I do? Should I stop worrying?

You should get as many screws in as possible WITHOUT bending the motherboard,then stop worrying.
Use common sense when considering distribution of securing points. i.e. do not leave the whole of one side
or corner unsupported, if possible.
Un used stand offs should be removed if they are likely to touch the board anywhere but where they should;you dont want shorting issues.
IS THAT HOLE ACTUALLY MISSING??

Well, I have bodged boards in before and never had issues but I put a post it note in the case to remind me not to tug or push where the problem was. I would say if you remember to hold the board down while you remove a case connector it should not be a problem,but its just another reason why I would not buy any MSI product.

its your call dude .... I been surfing it around and no one I can find is having that issue and the case seems well liked.. if its a bad drill job and you stress your board and something snaps or what ever then what ?? you got a defective case and now a junk motherboard ? what good is that to you then? you should inquire to whoever you got it from and see about an exchange.. I'm not there with you for a hands on but these thing happen and you got the last case made on Friday and the guy in charge of that was late for his daily bowl of rice..

Are all your other screws in and tight? Loosen the crap out of them, and try to move the board so that you can get that last screw in. I've used boards ok with as little as 3-4 screws in so ONE missing shouldn't be a problem.
Huh? Pin sticks out? Are you talking about the I/O shield?
