This is my current setup

 

I recently got a 5 pack of fans, but here’s my issue

 

I can’t seem to install the fans (as intake) on the front of the case, because there’s no supported mesh or place to do so.

 

So I was wondering what I should do with my case fans considering that I can’t setup any intake fans on the front of the case

 

Should I install another exhaust at the top?


Should I install an intake at the top?

 

Can I install both exhaust and intake at the top?

Wish there was a better view of the front. I can literally see the place for the fans, but can't get a sense of where intake is coming from. Are there vents on the front side?

 

Also, do you know the make and model of the case? That would expedite matters greatly.

Do they not fit on the mounting brackets in the front of the case or is there not enough potential airflow? 

Because all those brackets on the righthand side will fit fans im pretty sure

 

What is the case model and fan size you have?

Cause it looks like you have a ton of space

It is any way for looks.

Ryzen 7 4xxx should be the highest TDP part with iGPU and well below 100 W.

 

If that’s the case what should I do, add another exhaust on the left hand side (Of the top) closer to the existing exhaust, then add an intake on the far right hand side (Of the top)?

I don't think you're replying to the right thread here.

do see the plastic piece? usually there are 6 to eight of them. 2 at the bottom, 2 in the middle, and 2 at the top. 1 on each side.

99% of panels like this you can remove  with a good yank from the bottom of the from panel. dont be scared of it. but if you cant get it off try using some type of pliers to squeeze them as you pull the panel off.
