Backplate Question

Hello all. So I plan on making a backplate for my RX560 but I'm not sure how I'd mount it exactly. I was thinking of making acrylic standoffs for the corners and using double sided tape but not sure how it would look. Any suggestions?

I think the tape is a bad idea, heat will go by this and the tape will dry out eventually.

you could alternatively use thermal paste which is pretty adhesive, or even thermal adhesive on top of that. 

also does your card already have holes to screw into? some do, if the PCB was designed for backplate compatibility, 

Main Rig: R9 5950X @ PBO, RTX 3090, 64 GB DDR4 3666, InWin 101, Full Hardline Watercooling

Server: R7 1700X @ 4.0 GHz, GTX 1080 Ti, 32GB DDR4 3000, Cooler Master NR200P, Full Soft Watercooling

LAN Rig: R5 3600X @ PBO, RTX 2070, 32 GB DDR4 3200, Dan Case A4-SFV V4, 120mm AIO for the CPU

HTPC: i7-7700K @ 4.6 GHz, GTX 1050 Ti, 16 GB DDR4 3200, AliExpress K39, IS-47K Cooler

Router: R3 2200G @ stock, 4GB DDR4 2400, what are cases, stock cooler
 

I don't have a problem...

I must be blind xD I only looked at the corner where the power is but yes there is holes. I'll use them with nylon washers. Thanks for getting me to look again.
