hi all
i got to the part to place the mobo...made all the standoffs, I/o plate...

Now when i try to matc the standoff with mobo,they dont match....on th I/o plate ther is a kind of layer of sillicone but i dont think its the problem....it just doesnt match the standoffs and when i try to match it wont budge...

i even applied some forcve but no point it didnt move a bit...my mobo is P7D pro and my case is the Scout...

People help please?
 
A quick snap of the issue might make things a little clearer.

Just check the standoffs are correct for atx and that the IO plate is pushed fully in - sometimes they take quite a bit of force.
 
Io plates can be a bit of a curse at times, i had one from an evga 680 board that i had to sandpaper the edges to get it to fit.
 
Aye, chopped up my fingers good on many.

Let us know it all comes together. Don't forget the motherboard has two power connectors (huge 24-pin and smaller one!).
