Motherboard standoffs screw into the case. The motherboard then screws into the motherboard standoffs. Essentially, you have a double layer of screws.

Motherboard stand-offs are screws that maintain a separation between the electric circuits on the underside of your motherboard and the metallic motherboard tray in your case. How many screws you require depends on the case/motherboard tray and your motherboard.

DO I HAVE TO REDO ALL OF IT??
i tried to fit it onto the centre screw but it didn't go in...

Impossible to say without knowing what you have.

What case are you using?
What motherboard are you using?

If you only used one screw that does not sound like it's enough, the motherboard would be very prone to bending then. You should use as many screws as you can. The standoffs will come with the case along with all necessary screws, they would never only give you one.

Standoffs are pre-installed:

You should use six screws to secure the mobo to the standoffs.

Ok. Here is your case interior:

Here is your motherboard:

I've highlighted where the screws are supposed to go to attach the motherboard to the motherboard tray/case. Looking at the case, it appears that most of the screw-in points are raised as pseudo-standoffs and so, motherboard standoffs are not required. The image is pretty dark, but it appears that the only stand-off needed might be in lower-right one for a Micro-ATX motherboard.
