Default Standoff Screws for 690
So i try putting the gold looking mounting screws for the motherboard in my 690 case but there are two holes that i cant screw the gold screw things in. Ive even tried using needle nose pliers to just crank it in.

You don't have to have all of them, though the more would make it better has it be fully secured.

By screws you mean the standoffs right? Like these right -
