I'm having a pretty big problem getting any fans to screw into the side fan mounts without destroying the case.

Anyway when trying to screw in fans, the chassis around the screw holes and bending/warping inwards even though they have minimal resistance when screwing/uncrewing. Every single row is now very slightly bent inwards although it's not clearly visible in the pics aside from the one in the middle on the right hand side which is significantly bent (that was the first attempt).
Was willing to just ignore/forget about it but now the fans when mounted there have a really loud drone/vibrating noise, even at low RPMs (for clarity, they're louder at 800RPM in the case than they are at 1800RPM outside of the case) so I guess the structure is badly messed up
Seems no one else has had this problem, am I SOL?
