My PCI cards dont go in!!

Hi all,

I bought a new computer case (THIS ONE), and I ran into a really weird problem. My PCI cards do not go in. Meaning: When I put my mobo into the case, and I attempt to insert a PCI card, the bent metal on the back of the card touches the hole where I would screw it in to secure BEFORE the metal connectors on the card plug into a PCI slot. So basically, my PCI cards hang ABOVE the PCI slot, and will not go IN it.

I want to know: 1) Did I get screwed on a case
2) Is there anyway to fix it
3) Should I just manually bend the PCI card metal to straighten it, allowing me to plug them all the way in

Thanks..
 
I have a full tower case that is "tweaked" a bit like that, so I have to bend the ends of the brackets to get them to slip in and lock down into the slots.
 
I think I found my problem -- I didnt use stand-offs on the motherboard. Will put them in and see if that solves the problem...
