My question is why do we have to do this ourselves cant the water block companies make this standard issue?

Props should also go to virtualrain.

I think this is something they simply overlooked. Hopefully this will change.

Here is my Zalman 9500 backplate......had to dremel out a couple places on the plate so it would sit flush......also had to drill out the holes to allow for the #6 bolts to fit thru. Went to Home Depot and purchased #6 bolt X 2" to make up for the lost length with using the backplate.
