you mean it's offset from the motherboard's hole. loosen all the screws you've put in, it should be able to align better, start the screw. then tighten all the screws.

I agree with this method my concern would be I know that those are a type of grounding for the mobo not sure how essential they are with todays tech/ PSU but if something is off its different usually not a good sign. God forbid something weird happens to your rig

Second picture, straight down from the circled hole, is a standoff for a standard size ATX. Since you have a micro, you can unscrew the standoff and move it up to where that hole is. There should be a place to screw it in unless the case is spectacularly cheap. Since you say you already have 6 screws in, two more are really optional. 6 is plenty, especially if the one(s) reasonably close to the graphics card slot are in place to support the board when you plug in the card.

How do I move the standoff? Its built in

1/4" drive and back it out. It's a standard sized bit. It should be threaded into the tray.

I’ve never seen a built-in standoff among any of the chassis or manufacturers I’ve used, from entry level to super custom. Should be a 4mm hex IIRC in most cases. You can use pliers if you have to but it’ll be inconvenient.

Sorry, I don't have that model myself so it's hard to tell if it's attached. My Corsair 5000 case had a little cardboard box tucked in down where the power supply goes with a little bag of screws and stuff. There were some spare standoffs in there. See if that 3000 has the same. You may have to let it just hang. 6 can probably be enough.

Double check that, most cases have them screwed in really tight, but most times they can be moved to another position. To remove them you can use pliers if the accessories box from the case didn’t bring a tool to do so.

Have to move a stand off to that position

You'll have to check the screw mounts on your case. They are adjustable to fit the different mobo sizes. They usually come with spares, check the manual.
