Mounting the MSI GTX 1070 Armor on DIY Zondda - 0 for the screws has problems

[first time rig]

Hi Im trying to install this version of MSI GTX 1070 into the DIY Zondda - 0 but for some reasons, it seems this case doesn't have a screw hole for the video card outside of the case which is where the video card's screw hole should be.

Can anybody help with this? Thanks

take a close up picture and post it.

All the pictures I found of the case shows it either does have holes there or has notches where the cover you put over that area on the back fills the notches to secure the card in back.

So those are dimples? and the plate that covers that area has knobs that fit in the dimples, right?

There are holes on the case in that area and the plate from the gtx 1070 that covers the area doesn't seem to have a screw thread, it's just the holes so the screws don't stay in place.

I mean the plate that you had to remove on the back of the case in order to install the card.

Oh ok the plate that I removed from the case has holes that fit the outside visible that you saw in the image. It's just when I put the screw in that was supplied from the case, the screw wouldn't stay because there is no screw thread to keep it in place. I think its just a hole for some reason unless I need to get other types of screws. Like the video card hole (if thats the dimple) fits the hole on the plate( thats after I put the plate back on.

Refer to this drawing: (warning - crude and rudimentary)

This is what I mean. If it is how I depicted it, then you just put the plate in place and secure it with the screws that hold it to the case.
