Tiny detail about the Phanteks P400A_D

I'm planning to make my first build in a Phanteks P400A Digital, but I don't know if the motherboard standoffs are pre-installed or if I have to worry about them.

 

Do I have to install them? or are they ready to go, so I just have to screw in my mobo?

 

I know its a small, dumb, detail, but I'd hate to mess something up on my first build.

You'll be able to tell when you pop it out of the box

 

There will either be little metal cylinders on the motherboard tray or there wont

 

If there isn't, don't worry it take 2 minutes to put them in

I'm assuming this'll be in the case accessories then. (I'm sorry about being anxious about this haha just don't wanna mess up)

Thanks a lot!

my phanteks p500a, the big brother to the p400a, came in a few weeks ago and the mobo standoffs were preinstalled in the typical atx configuration, similar to my meshify c before it. extras were in the little accessory box, along with the little tool to remove em

topics i need help on:

I have a P400S (so the prior non-mesh model), and the standoffs were already installed, I removed a few since my motherboard didn't need the full ATX standoffs.

 

I'm guessing it should be similar with the P400a, digital or not.
