So I just got my meshify c case and everything was going well until I tried installing the motherboard standoffs. It wasn't until I installed the motherboard I forgot to install the io board. So I get it install it, and then I notice the upper left standoff was missing. I find it and I try to tighten it and realize it just doesn't stay in like the rest. It falls at every push making the installation of the motherboard impossible. Any help? The little standoff works Ive tried it in other holes, its the hole in the case that doesn't work

Sounds like the hole has gotten cross threaded or somehow damaged, it's not a big deal if you have 8 of the 9 standoffs installed.

Good to hear there would be no issue. That was my main concern, there seem to be no contanct at all between the case and the motherboard due to that 1 standoff so I will continue the installation. Cheers for the help!
