Help =( Problems with building!

So I thought I'd buy a few fans to keep my pc cool

But since my case is so fiddly I can't get the controller to stay in place when i press buttons

One side is screwed and the other it slides in with another screw but isn't secure so it slides by itself
Any ideas?

I also want to add 2x80mm fans to the rear of the case but need help on how to attach them
How it would look;

The rear grill;

Back of the case;

I was thinking Velcro but haven't seen any fans attached by this before and how secure it would be?

After this there's going to be a lot of cable management =(

Edit - images should now be working

Sorry, its the lian li v351
Two side shots of how it used to look

I swapped out the stock fans for ones that push more air, I render images on my pc so it runs at 100% for a while and gets pretty toasty.
Thanks king, i'm sure that'll come in useful lol

Currently thinking I could slide a screw in first, put a bolt on it and tighten and see if that stops it, but I need a tiny bolt hmm.. might have to be a bodge job haha, I'm thinking hot glue gun.
For the fans the grill stops around half way up so I can't actually fasten the tops to anything. I just order some little velcro stickers though, so I'll see if that works!
cheers!

Cheers guys for all the suggestions I'll have a long think about it and see what is easiest /best

Edit as for the bend in motherboard ill be chopping the ends off the copper pipe in the heatsink so should fit quite well!

I would not recommend chopping off the copper ends, they are sealed and your likely to damage the cooler. If there is a small gap above the psu, pack the two lower screws points of the psu(inside case, between psu and case) and it wll angle the psu upwards, enough to clear the copper ends.

=O glad I waited then, I had no idea
Think i'll try getting a lower profile cooler, maybe a h50/60
Thanks for the advice, I could have easily ruined something

Well I got my velcro stickers and they are working really well, but do you think the glue gun idea would be good for cable management where I want to run a cable across the top of the case
