I think it could be better to use a piece of elastic matherial in the center of the backplate, like on the attached screenshot.

Make the rubber pad bigger, remember the CPU is mounted in a socket contraption so making the pad the same size as the CPU is pointless cause it's the socket that 'transmits' the pressure to the mobo>plate not the CPU, idealy it'd be a [ ] square shape the same 'footprint' as the socket(the pins are clearly visible on the mobo's back)...
I'm surprised more people don't use a backplate mobo bending can realy **** up the equilibrium of you mounting pressure leading to an uneven mount and poor temps. Graphics cards especialy bow like crazy when the holes are used to mount a block, it can't be good for the traces, 'specialy the inner ones!...
