PSU not fitting properly in case, am I missing something?

Unless, I'm doing something wrong, the holes to screw in the power supply will not line up whatsoever, and won't be lining up period. Anythings else I can do? I remember reading a review and it sais the Raidmax 420 was too big for it. I have the Fortron 530. I can get it in place, but there is no way to secure it. Will this be going back to Newegg?

 
Yea, err uhhh I knew that :-/
Thanks! 😀
This is my first computer I'm building, so bare with me. Thanks again.
Now to decied if I want to keep this case.
 
I've installed PSU's upside down and right side up and the holes have always lined up without issue. I'd say you either have a cheap POS case or PSU. With that being the case, you're setting yourself up for trouble sooner or later (probably sooner). From what others have said about the brand PSU you posted, I'd say it's probably a cheap case... I've used mostly Antec and Coolermaster cases without any issue at all... They might be more expensive than other cases, but that's one item where I firmly believe you get what you pay for.
 
BTW if you need any info on the mechanical assembly of the new computer, the bottom link in my signature has a lot of assembly photos, plus the Resources page shows how to worm-proof your system so it doesn't catch viruses off your broadband connection behind your back when it's just being built. And yeah, quality PSUs are usually worth what they cost, and quality cases are such a pleasure to work with 🙂
