(x is the missing standoff)

Is it fine to miss this standoff or should I look into buying a new one?
 
So this missing standoff is in a corner of the Mobo. Just be aware then this corner will be supceptible to bending if u apply pressure to it. If there are ram slots by this corner for example, I would fix the issue. Same if there are top-plug SATA connectors nearly. Other small cable connectors, not power supply connectors, I can live with.
