Mobo without one screw?

[JackyDawg]

PLEASE HELP!

I am installing an ASRock B75M-DGS motherboard into a Corsair Carbide 200R. For whatever reason, corsair has one standoff that you can't screw anything into, it is "Just to hold it in place" as they said. But this is a mATX motherboard and it goes right where a screw hole is! Can I just install all the other ones and leave that one hole unscrewed? Should I return the case and get a different one?

Ur supposed to screw in ur motherboard in 6 different places.

And y cant u screw in the screw in that one place? is the threading of the standoff too small or big? are using the wrong screw? standoff not aligning with the hole?

Well it is just a small "nub" I guess you can say. It doesn't have a hole for anything to go into, but most cases just have a regular old standoff there.

Well no I haven't actually installed the motherboard yet, but yeah all 6 standoffs (except for the "nub") were preinstalled, ready for mATX mounting. My mobo has 6 holes, like it should have.
here is an illustration

ok, ur saying that there us an extra standoff on the case. right?

My question is - are all the 6 holes on the motherboard line up with 6 standoffs on the case?

UPDATE:

It was actually SUPPOSED TO BE THERE. It replaces one of the standoffs, but actually goes in quite snug, and serves to hold the mobo up. Essentially a standoff with an "auto tightening" system .
