Bought a new cpu and heatisnk and I had to remove the mobo to install them. Now, I'm missing two out of 6 screws. I screwed in all 4 corners but cant find the other 2 screws for the middle. Do I have to find them or is it ok without them? feel so dumb.... lol

I would try to find them just in case they're stuck under the motherboard against a circuit, then it could short out against the case.
