I have found, while playing around with my front/rear panel sets, that you can really ignore the standoffs essentially.
Fit the front and rear panels to the board, lower into the base of the plastic enclosure, then simply do up the case screws.
The board can still move a little, but is is held pretty much in place just with the panels alone. Fit a couple of small strips of foam-rubber to the top of the board, and then install the top of the case and do up the screws, and the foam-rubber holds the board pretty much perfectly, and stops it even rattling about even a little bit.
No need to then bother with the fiddly spacers, which INSIST on falling off or moving while you try to lower the board+panels into the case. I guess you could certainly glue the spacers in just as Chopperp did, but I had done the foam-rubber thing before I updated my brain on this thread!
