I suppose I could remove the existing backplate and use theirs. It won't be that bad removing the cards and board. How hard will it be to pull off a backplate? Anyone done it?

Boy, I don't know though -- looking at the photos of the installed units make it appear that the hex standoffs are touching the board.

Actually, reading their instructions shows that their backplate (which I am not using) extends a mount through each of the holes to the hex pieces wouldn't touch the board. I don't want to use their backplate so I will have to use some washers or something. I think I have some.

That makes more sense

Yes they do. Most come with plastic like washers
