Just got my new case

Took the 2 front fans off and i noticed that the screw doesnt go easy from the other side of the hole

Should i just force them in and crate the grooves?

Yeah just force it in. From my experience, case fans don't come with pre-made grooves. You make the grooves yourself when you put in the screw for the first time.

I mostly speak from my own past experience from similar problems. My solution may not work for you, but I'll always try my best to help as much as I can. If you want me to see your reply, make sure to quote my comment or mention me @WaggishOhio383, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

They're self-tapping screws, which means they actually bite into the plastic when they screw in. The side you're screwing into hasn't had threads made by the screws yet, so it will be tough to turn at first. Once you get the screw through the plastic, it will become much easier to turn.
