First boot up problems

I mounted the Fans below the Radiator, there was the option to mount them above or below (or both if there was room in the case and I had 4 fans). It would have been fine if I had put them above since the other screws wouldn't have even been needed :\

Now there are screws in the fins, penetrating around the same height of a fan. Will it end up leaking or is it best to leave the screws where they are now?
 
Do broken fins make any difference on the radiators? Not sure if they are just there to disperse the heat from the little pipes running between the rows of fins, or do they also include any water or important connections?

D'yu think it could help explain the 0 RPM speeds at all?
 
Is it a possibilty that any of them have snapped, and would that much more of a problem than just bent ones? I've had a look and the screws seem to go fully through the Radiator fins and pretty much meet the screws that the fans are attached to the Radiator with. Difficult to tell if they are just bent or worse since they have screws going straight through :s

Ah that's a slight relief, now just need to figure out what's causing the 0 rpm readings and *fingers crossed* it could be ready to use

Edit: re-checked the box for any smaller screws + found a review on google with pictures of the 16 large screws (two bags of 8) too but still can't see any smaller ones
