Question PC Does Not Boot

So

So, I tried booting it without my SSD. No change in the problem. So, I guess it is the MOBO. One question, look at the screws on which the MOBO sits:

Screws inside the blue boxed line are the ones where MOBO has holes but the scree circled with red has no matching hole on the MOBO. Is it possible that this screw has causes the SSD to fry or fried some part on the MOBO which is respobsible for the booting?

Surely it would have happened on day 1 if that was the case. I would move motherboard spacers that don't correspond to where the board can be screwed in though, that's not great.

I'm curious about no display with no boot device though, it doesn't seem right but it's not completely outside of the bounds of plausibility. I would ask a question on the MSI reddit simply asking whether a healthy MSI board of this generation would do that or whether there would be an on-screen message.

I'm 99% certain an ASUS board of the last several generations (probably anything since the introduction of UEFI) would dump the user at the BIOS non-advanced configuration screen if there wasn't a boot device available. Pre UEFI I would have expected the classic on-screen message 'no boot device found' or thereabouts.

yeah, I forgot to mention that I put that screw after I replaced my PSU 2 days ago. Actually it was missing 2 screws. Like 2 in the blue box. I pout an extra one because misidentified the places where MOBO sits.
