Buy a hot glue gun, you will suddenly be using it for everything.

Why exactly are you using weird plastic standoffs that dont fit on that fan anyways?

The fan isnt threaded, and those standoffs arent long enough to go through he fan to put a nut on it.
Fans are mounted with course screws that cut their own pseudo threads into the plastic

there are plastic sets with standoffs, nuts and bolts. The screws you posted are the correct ones to be used with fans, but obviously OP needs standoffs.

pic related is what i got for muh bench PSU project (might make a thread to cherish my shitty craftmanship)
