You may remember that I ordered a system not too long ago. As this is only my second build, I am not sure if this is correct or not. I am trying to build it now, but have ran into a few problems so any help will be appreciated. 
Firstly, I am trying to install the MSI H77MA-G43 into a Zalman T1 (both are available here at OcUK), however there are 8 holes on the motherboard, whereas I have only been supplied with 6 stand offs (2 of which were already installed). It says that I should have 7 stand offs included, but I don't. It also includes cable ties in the manual, but I didn't receive any.
As well as this, the button for the optical drive doesn't seem to 'click' in when I press it, I've tried pushing the DVD drive down further but it just seems like it doesn't want to go any further.
Finally, (non-T1) related, but after doing my exterior build (it all worked fine), I then went to move on to migrating it to the case but I can't seem to get the motherboard cable out. In my first build (back in May), I built it straight into the case but I thought I'd do an exterior one first this time around. The 'clip' at the end of the cable isn't under the 'ledge' sticking out from the socket on the motherboard. I thought you had to pull it and then wiggle it until it released. Am I not putting enough force into it, or am I even doing it right? The PSU is a Corsair CX430W.
Thanks for any help, much appreciated.
