Could this short out any of my computer components?

[xNightCaster]

Roughly a year ago, I had decided to build my own computer. Everything seemed to work out fine except for the fact that my H100i's backplate was too loose to properly secure the cooler on my CPU, resulting in an unstable mount and very high temperatures. So I decided to use 4 metal nuts to fill in the gap that my back plate couldn't. This fixed my problem, and my H100i was properly secure and offered great temperatures.

The computer runs as great as ever to this day, but now I am a little concerned that these metal nuts I installed could possibly short out a component in my computer, since they come in direct contact with the back of my motherboard.

Could this be an issue in the long run? Should I replace them with an alternative?

Here's an image of the backplate, I apologize for the lousy quality as I took this photo with my iPhone: http://i.imgur.com/GTLPb8f.jpg

Any sort of feedback is appreciated,

Thank You

if its worked for a year its likely to be fine--though should have put a rubber or fibre washer under the nuts

though not sure why you have that gap to begin with
