My metal benching table arrived from Japan. Thank you, Fred-san for arranging everything. Don't be fooled by the appearance. It is very heavy. The long screw puts pressure on the heatsink, helping to give better contact with the CPU.
The top of my heatsink (Tuniq Tower) has a plastic cover which bends. I need to go to the hardware store and buy a short metal bar to place on top of the heatsink. In the meantime, I'm using a slot cover which isn't great because it too will bend under pressure.

Thanks. The motherboard standoffs I ordered have arrived. Will remount the board this weekend.
Yes, the board will bend a little. Using standoffs allows some air flow under the board, which is beneficial.
