Asus ROG Maximus XI Code - can't get to the middle mounting screw

[Grit]

Anyone know how to access the screw hole in the middle of the motherboard? It's probably under the "Republic of Gamers" portion of the armor. The manual shows the board without the armor, but no way to get the screw in.

I tried posting at the Asus forums, but it just says to contact "Silent Scones@Asus" and nothing else... not a valid email address or forum user!

Remove the offending pieces.

Do you have a standoff with a nub on it? The last few motherboards I had don't secure the MB using the screw.
