I'm not sure what motherboard/heatsink you were using, but I have never needed to mess with the backplate on any LGA775-based system using the stock cooler, most aftermarkets use a similar design where they are simply pushed down into the holes. However the cooler I have now needs a special backplate, and the cooler actually screws into it.
