Can't physically install my X99 gaming G1 wifi motherboard into my Rosewill THRONE-G-Window Gaming ATX Full tower case. There were no screws supplied with the motherboard so I had to use the ones from my old build. However I simply cannot screw in the motherboard. The screws are too short, and it almost seems as if the holes are lined up incorrectly. By that I mean I have to force the motherboard towards the back of the case to get all the holes to line up. Is that normal? I don't remember that happening on my first build. So what exactly should I do to get this installed?

Just gonna go for the simplest question first. You are using the stand offs that came with your case right? They look like this

You will need standoffs between your motherboard and the base of the case. Likely the positioning will have changed with the new motherboard since it sounds like you went from an ATX to an EATX sized board.

Also when you position your motherboard in to the I/O shield you will often have to push the board in to position (the tabs on the I/O shield typically have to be pushed inward a bit by the pressure of the motherboard for a tight fit) but it shouldn't have to be a massive struggle.
