Case - CoolerMaster MasterCase 5

Power Supply - SeaSonic X-Series 660w 80+ Gold

 

So I just got my MasterCase 5 today. And I went to see how I was planning on installing my hardware and I ran into a problem with the power supply mounting.  The mounting bracket and the mounting holes on the PSU don't match up properly.   The only way I can have the bracket screwed into the base is by only using 3 of the screws because one of the holes does not line up properly with the bracket.  The power supply is setup so the fan faces down, I have not tried fan side up because it seems a bit stupid in a MasterCase but if someone has some insight into my problem, some help would be appreciated.

Is the bracket oriented right side up (nvm doesn't have orientation) it looks to be a regular bracket with the standard layout for the mounting screws unless the PSU has a unique layout for some reason. Three screws however are enough to hold it in place the unit itself will rest on the bottom of the case.

i think i had that same problem with another CoolerMaster case. i could only get 3 screws in. but in the end, 3 screws got the job done enough.

PSU has the standard gambit of mounting holes but it seems fine with three so if three is enough then I'll just leave it be
