ok, so before i tighten any more screws on the x plate, i've notice that it IS bending my motherboard. it is a very small bend, and the screws aren't even all tightened yet. either way, that means it's putting strain on it. is this normal for using the x plate (back plate, whatever)? would i just be better off using the stock retention module??
