Could someone explain how to fit 120mm fans to an Enthoo Evolv?

I've had my Evolv for a few months now and i really like it but decided to swap out the fans for some quieter ones. According to the Evolv spec sheet you're meant to be able to fit 120mm fans in the front but as far as i can tell this is not actually possible (see photo).

Apologies for the rubbish squinty camera work but you should be able to see that with the left hand mounting holes of the fan in place the right hand mounting holes are only about half accessible. I have a variety of 120mm fans and its the same thing with all of them. Am i completely missing something or could my case actually be out of whack?

I've been working on my Evolv today, added some new 140mm fans but I also have a 120 in place as well.

On mine, the holes line up, I did have to use a bit of pressure though.

Is it ITX, mATX or ATX?

It's the ATX Tempered Glass jobby.

Odd, mine is fine with 3 of them. Perhaps it's bent slightly, you should be able to fit them if you get a start on each screw and then gradually tighten.

Yep this. Mine is the non-TG version but that shouldn't make a difference. It definitely supports 120mm as I have a hybrid GFX with a 120mm and 2x140mm fans.
