TN series thin motherboard full-size IO shield/ backplate help

Hello all.

I am a new user to gigabyte, but have built a PC before.

Had a GA H87TN motherboard delivered through Amazon, which does not include a full size IO shield. Very disappointed as you can imagine, especially as there was no notes regarding the board being shipped without this fairly standard item.

Having contacted Gigabyte global support, Gigabyte UK support, and the retailer, without any positive response, you may be my last hope!

Anyone know a 3rd party that supplies IO shields for these boards?

Ps. The manual included in the box, and the online pdf available to download on the Gigabyte, does not include pin-out details. That is also disappointing, and if there is a source for this information somewhere it would be nice.

Hope I am not spoilt in thinking these issues are not mine, but pretty annoyed with my experience right now.

Latest update.

Gigabyte sent me the wrong i/o shield. In the future I will do research before making a purchase, because this forum is littered with threads like mine. Thanks for wasting my time Gigabyte.
