Does anyone have a Fractal Design Define S or case with the same 3.5" drive mount?

Have a fairly specific question in regards to the Fractal Design Define S and possibly another Fractal case if they use the same 3.5" HDD mounts. Is it possible to move the two rubberized noise dampeners / spacers for the screws to the rear position? Pictured here:

Tried pulling one apart from the front and back but it they are stuck together fairly tight. Are these non-removable? Just want to confirm before I destroy one of the mounts trying to pry it apart.

The reason I need to move the rubberized spacers / noise dampeners is because I just bought a Toshiba X300 6TB drive and it lacks screw positions in the middle area. It only has 4x screw positions, two in the front and two in the rear unlike my other Toshiba, Seagates or WD drives I've had before. I'd like to move the rubberized spacers to the rear slots so I can continue to minimize as much noise as possible as that is part of the reason I bought this case.

As a side note the screw box claims I was supposed to get enough screws for 6x 3.5" HDD mounts (for 3 HDDs total) but I only received 8 screws, just enough for two HDDs... thanks Fractal Design.

I think they're non-removable. I'd have to heck when I get home though.
If they shorted you on screws, give them a call. Good case companies will ship you missing screws if you request.

Figured out how to remove them; pull towards the bigger "screw holes" and then slide off. First one was just on very tight, the rest came off easily.

I emailed Fractal about the screws. We'll see what they say. In the event they don't have any and I can't seem to find them for sale on the sight, is there any place I can get these screws? Just need them to fit flush with the rubber spacers.

Nahh, I think they're custom-built for the case, or else just uncommon. I'd never seen a screw like those before.

It should be no trouble at all to send you a replacement set. Odd that your kit only included 8 of the 12 that should've been there. Our support team's generally pretty quick to action but feel free to shoot me a pm if there's any way I can assist.
