help with connectors

I'm assembling a computer for the very first time and am confused. I'm connecting the front panel connectors (reset switch, power switch, hdd led and msg led). Someone told me you never want the metal sides of these connectors to face another metal side or a metal pin and doing so can screw up the motherboard. If this is true then there is no way that I can connect these connectors as the manual tells me too without having at least one metal side face an empty metal pin.

So What I'm wondering is is it true that the metal side of the connector should never face a metal pin? Any sort of help in this area would be much apreciated.

If it helps any I'm using GA-K8N Pro-SLI motherboard and a Coolermaster Centurion 5 case. Links below to both of them


the mobo can be found at http://www.techniz.co.uk/modules.php...content&id=262

the Case can be found at http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/Cool...s.aspx?pid=634
