I just build everything and noticed that a stand off screw was incorrectly placed and might touch the mobo where it's not supposed to. Is this bad at all or can I leave it be?

Might be safest to remove it. Usually they unscrew from the case, or unclip. If neither option seems to work, you can insulate the board from it using an old credit card or ID card.

i agree with mechBgon...you should remove it. it may short your board and give you stability problems.
