Hello all,
I recently purchased an acrylic ATX motherboard tray (link) for my relatively new
MSI X370 GAMING M7 ACK (link) motherboard. My system ran just fine for the past two weeks (I had the motherboard on its retail box), but after installing the motherboard onto the aforementioned tray, it no longer works.
Is it possible that I somehow damaged my motherboard using the acrylic tray? Could I have possibly shorted it? I'm stumped because the board seems to have simply died.
I've also determined for certain that the motherboard is indeed faulty:
Thank you all in advance for your help!

I've also determined for certain that the motherboard is indeed faulty:
My PSU, CPU, RAM all still work (I tested them on another motherboard).
I tried running the motherboard on the retail box again with everything but the bare minimum installed and there was no sign of life.
I am sure that the power connector was placed correctly.
There were no sparks or anything else that would have caused concern.
I also briefly removed the CMOS battery.
Thank you all in advance for your help!
