Hi,
I recently completed my first build. It works fine but there is one problem. My motherboard's (Asus M5A97) back plate does not into my case well. It clicked in fine but when putting my motherboard on I had to apply a lot of force to align it with the standoffs. I did screw it in but it is has a fair amount of pressure on it, so it is quite tight. I screwed it down and everything fits in, but the ports don't align perfectly with the holes on the back plate.
My questions are: Is this normal? If it is not, will it be Okay just to leave it as is? (I can still plug in all my USB devices and such. And there is very little flexing, and I think that is from the GPU anyway.) If it is not Okay, is there a good way to fix it?
