I put my PSU upside down so that the fan would be sucking in air from the bottom of my case because there's a vent there to suck in fresh air. Is that ok?

Also, there are like 4 holes in the back of my PSU but only 3 are fitting with the case, the fourth hole doesn't match with anything. I screwed the 3 in and it's pretty sturdy but I just want to make sure if it's fine like that

If it is just a small part covered it will not hurt you.

If you look at the case power supply mount, it seems to have 2 SLOTS for screws. One of those should line up with the missing screw.

EDIT.

Adding an image, this should allow it to mount either way.

redid the image to make it more easy to see.
