Hi, first time pc builder here.

I am installing the motherboard into the case and there is a gold thing that pokes up where the center standoff should be. My case has raised bumps here there standoffs would be so I know I don't need standoffs. The gold thing that portrudes up from the center does not have any spirals like a screw or anything. Any idea what I am supposed to do with it?
 
Solution
It is a positioning post. There is a corresponding hole in the motherboard.
It prevents the mb from moving around while you are trying to mate the other screws.
