I haven't build a gaming rig for quite a few years now. Just upgrading my rig and got a new case, mobo, I5 and ram - transferring my existing drives, psu, gfx etc.

Question being, I have fitted the new Motherboard (MSI z490 A-Pro) in the case but have found that the 'central' stand off mount is a 'post' that sticks through the motherboard mounting hole. All other 8 mounting points are secured with normal screws but wondering if this is correct? or should I be removing the motherboard and swapping out the 'post' for a spare stand off that is in the case accessory box?

Managed to fix the link above! - yes, it's the 'middle' cone shaped stand off that comes through the mb. It has located ok but still wondering if it is one that can/should be swapped out for a standard stand off...

Anyone with a Fractal Define 7 compact come across this?
 
Ok, so removed the motherboard and Can now see the 'locator pin' more clearly, as per below.

Doesn't look like it will come out though with a normal stand off removal tool...
