Case stand-offs too short?
I received my corne kit this evening, and the PCB/display/switches all went together without any issue! However, I'm unable to screw the case together because the screws don't reach the stand-offs. I tried loosening the screws a bit to try to get a little extra stack height, but that didn't seem to help. Everything appears to be seated correctly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with the case standoffs not providing enough height for the screws to reach. Here are a few things to check:
1. Standoff Installation: Ensure that the standoffs are fully tightened onto the screws from the PCB. Sometimes, if they are not fully secured, they can appear shorter than they actually are.
2. Screw Length: Verify that you are using the correct screws that came with your kit. If the screws are too short, they won't reach the standoffs. The kit should include screws specifically designed for the standoffs.
3. PCB Alignment: Double-check that the PCB is properly seated in the case. If the PCB is not aligned correctly, it may not be sitting at the right height for the screws to engage with the standoffs.
4. Standoff Height: If you have confirmed that everything is installed correctly and the screws are still not reaching, it may be worth checking if the standoffs are the correct height. If they seem unusually short, please reach out to the store for a replacement or additional standoffs.
If you've gone through these steps and are still having trouble, it may be a good idea to consult the troubleshooting section of the build guide for further assistance. Good luck with your build!
I went through all the steps, everything checks out. I sent a message to typeractive. Anyone else here run into this problem?
Protip: the switches sit on top of the top plate
