I'm buying a new motherboard that's bigger than the old one.

It fits in the case. But do the screws from my new motherboard need to be in the same spot as the old one?

There should be stand-offs that separate the board from the metal plate of the case beneath; these can be moved to accommodate different boards if the screw locations are different. Do not install the board if there is a standoff located in the wrong spot (under a solid part of the board as opposed to a screw hole). Doing so can cause a short circuit and damage the system.
