I need some help on my H100i v2 from corsair, i mounted the back plate and stand offs just like the instructions says but its loose, is this ok? will it tighten up after i attach the actual pump on it? my mother board is an asus viii hero and i used the stand offs labeled 115X. am i supposed to place a washer on it if so between the backplate and motherboard or between motherboard and stand offs?

yes it'l tighten. I had the exact same issue and originally put rubber washers in the back but then layer removed them and then found out it' completely fine.
