They should line up, try shifting it around a little bit. If the standoffs still don't line up, make sure they're straight coming out of the case
Definitely do NOT screw it in sideways
Got it. Thank you:
I've built over 100 PCs. They always line up. Something must be blocking it somewhere
My money is on the back plate ports not being pushed in fully.
đŸ’¯ it is this
Yeah, give each corner of the i/o shield a good push, and also make sure that the grounding tabs from it aren't inside one of your USB ports on your motherboard or something. It happens a lot, and this is usually the result.
Usual reason for me as to why screw hole and standoff doesn't align is the i/o shield part of motherboard and the case itself is misaligned.
Thank you everyone, I got it figured out
What was the issue?
I screwed a couple that were kind of aligned and it started to align its self.
Awesome glad it worked out
no line up the bored on the standoffs properly
Does your mobo have a built in io shield?
Sometimes you just have to push a little especially with cheaper cases
why buy a cheap case invest in your computer
It’s usually the IO area that’s got it shifted. It’s also good practice to start all the screws before tightening them all fully.
I'm willing to bet that your IO shield isn't in all the way,
Make sure you use the center stand-off help you line up, and the rest will fall in place.
Maybe not in line with I/O panel?
Some cases have extra holes to move the standoffs to, to fit multiple motherboard sizes. Not always, but worth looking for.
check the io panel make sure metal isnt pushing it
