I'm having trouble installing the motherboard. These metal pieces are pushing against the I/O shield, making it hard to push through. I still need a bit of space on one side for screws. Why are these components present? I broke them all before and others do the same, otherwise they wouldn't work.

You can observe from that previous discussion how the tabs were severely distorted. It seems the original poster may have misaligned the I/O shield, causing it to flare during removal. The tabs should remain flat, not protrude like spikes. When installing the motherboard, you must press it firmly against the shield, taking into account its slight springiness. ASUS incorporates a foam layer in some of their motherboard I/O shields, which adds extra thickness and requires more force to push.

You don't need to use the I/O shield if it bothers you

Yea still, i have it correctly. Side where is description is out and i am pretty sure it can fit only one way, you can hear 4 clicks when it get in position. I cannot place motherboard there, force will move it back 1-2 mm, there is no way to place motherboard there otherwise. I had to break them all same as with my previous motherboard. I don't understand why they put them there, it is so stupid... Yea but there is to much empty space, which dust can get in. I broke them all and it fits perfectly, before i tried to bend them didn't help even a bit. And even if you forced mobo there, these iron things will instantly stick it back and i doubt mobo will fit, while these are in place in the first place. It is impossible... I don't understand why they doing this in the first place. These iron things are useless.. It is just dumb... Great my case had all standoff screwed already except one, that has nothing you can screw into. So i had to replace it and now it don't hold. How i am supposed to make it hold, i can't screw it that perfectly with hand and even with cutters i wasn't possible to screw it more, but when i started screwing mobo into standoffs, it started to move with screw. Geez, every other standoff it had already on place, except one i need had nothing i can screw into. GEEz so dumb..
