Mother board back i/o shield not lining up

This motherboard:

Wont line up into this case even though all nine screws are in any ideas ive already tried three times and this is my first build here's the case

the back ports are very slightly off and the back shield is not bent. I think this is also the reason why my gpu wont be seating properly and also the computer works perfectly.

are you using the i/0 shield that came with the case or the one that comes included with the motherboard?

Yeah i recently had issues with my i/o shield when building my current rig. You don't necessarily "need" an i/o shield but it's generally advised to protect your gear from shorts or other electrical interference for instance capacitors for your sound etc.

My advice, try to bend it back into shape or at worst Jerry rig it into place. The alternative being you're creating a sizable hole for dust/dirt. If its the little prongs that are in the way try bending them outwards instead of inwards vice versa.

Hello... is something preventing this? You need to loosen the MB screws and slide the MB to the I/O shield position... and tighten.

Is the back "card cage" a separate piece? Maybe you could take it out and elongate the screw holes (in the right direction) with a Dremel? Of course take out the MB before you do this. You don't want metal flakes anywhere. Vacuum when yer done. Beware of ESD.

so dont uscrew the whole thing

Hello.. Yes... not all the way out... should be enough screw hole play, and slide side ways to the I/O.

If still trouble remove just a couple of screws, for more wiggle room.

Ok ill try and report back to you

Hello... if you pre-mounted to a CASE MB plate, loosen those Case screws too for more wiggle room.

I tried for an hour it didn't work.

Hello... Ouch... frustrating... Bloody finger cuts? take a break. B/

1) Where is the interference? a corner, side, OR?
2) Holes for screws won't line up after MB is in proper position?
3) Or MB will not go into position?
4) is the I/O shield ground tangs hanging you up? you can flatten them some... *Warning very sharp edges. Put tape/carboard on the painted surface not to scratch it... and use needle/pliers nose to apply pressure Just to the bend.

5) I have seen I/O plates styles that can be put in afterwards... is yours outside or inside mounted, or you have it in wrong?
6) and Yes... some Cases I had were so mis-aligned... I ran the computer without the I/O plated.

I like to build in small cases... and It is challenge to get that last twist/turn into place.
