Hello
My first pc build, the motherboard placement was pretty difficult, but managed to screw it in place, however checking out the backpanel, it doesnt seem perfectly aligned. Sits into the frame flush on top, and all the way down to the bottom corners, where it seems a little bit off.
No cables were in the way while screwing the mobo down, and its not screwed in tight at all.
Should i be worried of this, can this mean that the mobo is bent somewhere uncomfortably and i should go again with the very difficult placement, or its most likely normal like this?

Case is Phanteks Enthoo 719
Mobo is Asus Prime x570 pro


Thanks in advance for reply

Yes it is much more visible below the pink and green ports, that corner is also slightly curving inwards.
Havent turned on the Pc yet, will do that tonight, might just be a dent in the io shield, but wanted to make sure before powering the pc.

Yeah, give it a try.

I wouldn't be in high anxiety over it.

I hate to deal with the I/O shields.....left blood behind more than once. Seems there has been little improvement in the last 20 years regarding fit and finish on this stuff and I don't expect that to change.
At first glance, I don't see anything wrong in that pic.

Are you referring to something near the bottom; down by the pink, green, and blue audio ports?

Motherboard fit and IO alignment on this stuff is hardly to the 1000th of an inch. Lucky to be to a tenth of an inch. It's all mass production with minimal quality control.

Does everything work??

Maybe I'm not seeing something you are seeing?

Aligning it was definitely the most difficult part of the build by far, even though it comes preinstalled on the mobo lol.
Alright, least im not nervous about it anymore
