Hi
I recommend standing the mother board on a sheet of paper cut to size of board or made largenough by sticking two sheets together
Then mark mounting holes on paper
Put this in case and ensure only correct locations have metal pillars or bumps
If pillar is in the wrong location you can destroy your motherboard
Ensure the correct back plate is fitted cases often have a generic atx plate which does not fit many motherboards
( holes for USB, Ethernet , VGA, ps/2 ports, audio etc)

Usually one missing does not do any harm unless it is at a point where you are going to apply a lot of force such as near the ram slots
You often get a plastic peg which can be used at location where there is a hole in board but no pillar
Note there should be a metallic ring round all the holes which is used to ground board to case.
Also don't confuse the 4 holes round Intel CPU socket for pillar mounting points

5/7 points are screwed in fine, one point has no hole underneath it in my case and the other is just a dodgy hole (standoff will go in but comes out when wiggled so I left it out, so it doesn't come loose and fall out and short the board or something) the RAM is already in and so is the CPU cooler (I haven't confused the holes luckily), just have to connect all the PSU wires to the motherboard and everything else and I should be good to go. (Oh and the GPU but i'm hoping to do that last after everything else is connected).
The holes where i'm missing shouldn't cause me any problems I don't think. One of them is very close to the other (side by side) so I think that one should be OK. The other is the top left corner by the I.O shield and ports, but I don't think that will be effected as i shouldn't have to be constantly placing things in there, and I wouldn't be exerting any downward force upon the board, so I see no reason why the board would be strained, bent, or otherwise harmed in any way.
Let me know if you see any issues with this.
