I am a noob. This is my first time building a PC, so please bear with me if I am missing something out:

My PC case, 100L Mag Vampiric (https://www.msi.com/PC-Case/support/MAG-VAMPIRIC-100R) doesn't seem to have hole screws to install fans into; or in some cases, have holes that are mismatched, and are too far apart.

To illustrate the situation contemplated, please refer to the pictures here: View: https://imgur.com/a/Agv3LbK


So on the first pic (and on the second pic), with the writing "Back of the PC", there is literally just one screw to install the fan into............ and its a bit too high for the fan placement when installed...................... Am i missing something here? Please go easy on me

On the third pic, with the writing "Front of the PC", the holes where the screws are supposed to go into are of different heights...... and are way too far apart for 120mm fans; one again, am I missing something here?

On the last picture, with the writing "Top of the pc" (from the perspective of inside the case, looking up), there are absolutely NO screw holes to install fans into? Am I missing something here?

I am confused, and very disappointed. See, I bought this case brand new. I thought that MSI was a good brand, so I didnt hesitate buying the cheaper range of their PC cases. The case itself came with many issues: the metal is bent (clearly from manufacturing) at the bottoom, and there are paint scratches at the bottom - very trivial issue, but something that you dont expect from a known brand

As far as I know, when installing PC fans, there are 4 holes to screw to the case........................... but in the case of the fan at the back, there is just one screw hole to install the fan into; for the top part of the case, there are no holes at all; and for the front of the case, the holes are mismatched.

What am I missing guys?
 
Okay so I just found a pic of a different PC case and found that cases dont come with screw holes - which makes sense now I think about it; because not all fans are the same size etc:

My question now is, how do i make sure that the fans align well when installing? do i have to just do my best to allign it?}

Also, I just wanna make it clear that MSI is not a good brand for PC cases. Maybe you guys already knew that, but this is news to me. The metal is still bent, and the scratched paint all over the case really bothers me. I feel stupid about not knowing about the the holes thing, but MSI is still gave me a bad unit
