I was assembling my first PC and everything seemed okay until a few small issues popped up. The main issue involved the case. Rather than using the mesh shield to fit in radiators as Bequiet’s guide suggests, I took off the entire top panel without realizing it was necessary. I missed this step because the manual only provided English instructions after translating the rest into another language. It turned out on page 50 there were additional English notes about the process. After removing the panel, I connected the radiator and noticed something had fallen out from the top itself (see attached photo). I’m puzzled by its location and would appreciate advice. I understand the spring controls the locking mechanism for side panels—normally they stay in place when the spring is engaged. The top panel was fine except for that spring, so during the final assembly it wouldn’t release properly. When I tried to reattach the side panel, the buttons didn’t move as expected. My worry is that only one spring detached, yet both buttons failed to react. Could anyone help? Let me know if more pictures would be useful. Thanks!
