    Case came with 9 standoffs, motherboard has 10

    I bought an Antec 900 and it came with 9 standoffs. My motherboard (DFI Lanparty DK P35-T2RS) has holes for 10.

    The holes on the motherboard sort of look like this: 

    o   o   o

    o   o   o
    o  
    o   o   o

     
    I installed the standoffs like so:

    o   o   o

    o   o   o
    o  
    o   o   o

    (The bolded areas are where I placed the standoffs/screws)

     
    I'm just wondering, will my motherboard be okay? I just noticed this now. My system is put together already (I haven't wired it yet or powered it on) so it's too late to put another one in unless I want to take it apart again. Will everything be okay despite the missing standoff?
