Yes, you can do this.

Check if you can fit the cooler without a backplate. Just the rubber part should work. The IRLIKE I35 is designed for this.
The case you're referring to is the one that doesn't align properly with the backplate.
Prebuilt cases come in unusual forms. Success depends on whether you can apply them to other uses and projects.
Absolutely right. I mainly understood it because it secured in a great way.
The backplate is constructed from a material that doesn't conduct electricity. You could simply place the board inside the case, ensuring the backplate contacts, and secure it with zip-ties rather than screws. Be aware you might need to bypass an I/O shield. Note: The previous suggestion didn't consider the offset for your PCIe slot, which could complicate GPU installation.
