Hello, I just got some of case fans for my new build

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200098


I am trying to mount them and the screws do not fit into the fan at all. I cannot for the life of me get them in!

I don't know if there is something obvious I am missing as I have never installed case fans before.

I am not sure if there is something I have to do to help with this or not, any help of advice is appreciated. Thank you :)

The holes in case fans are non threaded - the screws you get with them are self biting/threading.
This is to make them tight to reduce vibration.

Lay the fans flat on a table first & screw the screw's part way in to start some threading on them, it'll be easier then to screw in when you fit them in the case.
