Hello :) Please can you help me to install this new fan? the computer case:

http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/carbide-series-spec-01-red-led-mid-tower-gaming-case (we went for the blue version though)

and this fan:

We bought them :) and I opened up the fan and it came with some screws, also I have some screws that came with my computer case. But I tried to install the fan at the rear of the computer, but for some reason there is nowhere to put the screws into? (there are holes just no grip for the screws if that makes sense)

I found where the fan plugs into the motherboard but I'm unsure how I'm going to use the screws to screw them into the case? lol it seems that there is nothing to screw them into - maybe I need to buy something else?

Thank you :)

The screws go through holes in the back of the case and into the fan itself and that holds it in place. See the 4 holes I circled in red in the following image?

oh oops I was doing it the otherway round lol, the fan has some plastic holes but it doesn't seem to have any grip on them, I guess you just screw them into that part? I was just a bit worried about splitting the plastic lol :) thanks for the help :)

If your worried about that I used the rubber plugs that comes with some fans/cases.. Makes it look a little weird on the outside but it works..
