Hey, just got this case recently, everything was great! until the motherboard standoffs decided they wouldn't screw into the case.

I noticed at the upper right of the case panel the mobo sits on has a deformed screw holding it to the rest of the case, and the standoffs act like they're too big to fit the case panel.

I put nearly full body weight to attempt to screw in some of these, and they're all no-go's. Do you think that the case has the wrong panel installed??
 
Solution
As standoff screw size is standardized, it's possible that you got a mobo tray that shouldn't have passed QA/QC inspection. If you're positive you're using the right screws in the right holes, if they don't fit and you've got an obviously deformed screw securing your mobo tray, I'd return it for refund or replacement. No sense dealing with crap like that in a brand new case.
