Hey, I posted about this earlier. I just wanted to put a picture up so you guys know what Im talking about. i am just wondering how tight to fasten this to the motherboard. Also are those the correct washers? They also included plasitic washers in the same bag and it dosn't clarify. So i used the red ones. Thanks

#1 issue here. Make 1000% (Extra 0 is not a typo) sure that the metal backplate is not shorting anything out on the back of the motherboard.

#2 issue: Finger tight. Bolts up top are primarily just for holding the backplate in place.
 
Okay, yeah the backplate has a really thick insulator on it. It should be good but I will check it out. And thenks, I will finger tighten them. Thats kinda what I thought, if you look at the picture traces go right under it. Or so it would seem. Thanks
