Recently bought a new mobo first time opening it and loosened first screw it completely came off without pulling. Is this can be repairable or shall RMA the mobo?

Ps: I've read MSI forums and seems like this is not the first case.

I'm pretty sure those just screw it. If not super glue is your friend

if you get a replacement board it'll be glued again.
i asked the seller and he imediately claimed i damaged this on purpose before i even sent it back. i've put superglue on it and it's still intact 2 years later.

Yeah I was thinking the same actually since I still have 2 days for RMA. I only checked 1 slot tho. I will check other slots aswell tomorrow.
