Hi Rigel, I have not the EK block for the CH V, but usually with EK , we have to install plastic washer / spacer between the block and the motherboard. From the pics, I can see the block come very close to the EPS 12V connectors, may be it makes interference and the plug doesn’t sit properly?
Ok, I download the manual, they replace the black plastic spacer with brass standoff ( see first pic) the EPS 12 volts connector is the one circle on the second pic
Oh no, the cable locks in place so i think there is no problem with that. Is there any effect if the plates behind the board is not installed?

Hummmm do you have thermal pad under those plates ? I will like someone from Asus to review it, as those plate may just be a support, but with what I can see , you have electronic rigth under, I wonder if they don't act also as heatsink ...
