Enclosure ZS Case question

[aaaadrian]

Hi there, I recently purchased a ZS A4S V3 case and it arrived today! I spent the day putting the parts into it and was overall satisfied with the build quality. However, there are two issues that I'm facing:

1. the second fan of my GPU (I bought a PNY 4070 verto dual) is slightly rubbing the side panel when it's closed. It isn't stopping the fan from spinning entirely but makes a really loud noise. I tried to push the graphics card in and re-tighten the screws but it didn't work;
2. The screws for the top case fans aren't countersunk screws, and they seem to push the top panel up by maybe 1mm in the middle.

Are there any fixes for them? Thank you!

Edit#1
I do not have ZS A4S V3 but looking through the manual, I suggest:-

Solution to #1:- Your card is 41mm thick and so I suppose you are using 'Plate E', which allows 43mm clearance. It should work. If you find physical contact between one of the 2 GPU fans with the side panel, maybe the side panel is slightly warped? Should not be hard to find out. Put the side panel on a flat surface and a warped panel should be obvious. I think this is unlikely but you never know. Does that side panel slide down the grooves easily and smoothly?

If so, contact ZS for possible replacement?

Or, simply use 'Plate D' to allow more GPU clearance (47mm) from the side panel. This has an additional benefit to avoid/minimize turbulence noise generated by the GPU fans being so close to the side panel when you use 'Plate E'.

I think the manual you saw is for the ZS A4.

I think you should tape some rubber or foam near the second fan.
