I installed two less screws on my new ATX motherboard, will that be an issue? One place had a pin to align the mobo, and the other place had a standoff screw but I forgot to install it.
 
Your motherboard has place for 6 screws (your signature build).
If 2 of those screws are not installed and not supported by stand-offs, the board is going to be really wonky.

I suggest you install everything correctly or you may face connectivity issues with ram and/or pcie card.

I changed my motherboard to an ATX Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming Rev 1.x
 
the newer cases now have that one pin. so your not going to use a standoff as that is one. depending on the mb and where the other standoff should be.make sure the mb wont flex and short out to the mb tray. if the new mb is slightly short go to your local hardware store pick up some small rubber disk/feet. use one or two to keep the mb from flexing.
 
Where standoff is missing, you have to put plastic standoff (to prevent bending of motherboard).

These wont work imo. The blank standoff is under a gap on the case.
