Motherboard is ASRock Z170A-X1/3.1.       CASE IS corsair carbide series SPEC 2.   I know they do support each other. please give me instructions on how to install this due to my situation

You put the standoffs in, which you've done. Put the motherboard on the standoffs, and screw it in.

What do you mean it looks perfect in the photo above, sometimes you need to push it towards the IO if the holes aren't lining up perfectly.

Are you using the 6-32 threaded screw that is usually the standard for most motherboard standoffs. I have seen some use M3 but that is less common.

That's the standoff but what screws are you using to bolt the motherboard in place? These ones most commonly used in systems with the one at the top being 6-32 as the common standard.

That is a picture of a standoff, an extra which they include, these are what you will put your screws in, which are preinstalled.
