EK Universal backplate has the holes to fit all desktop socket motherboards, including the LGA-1155/1156. I don't know where did you got the idea the EK-Universal Backplate doesn't fit it. This is a specific LGA-1155/1156 socket motherboard product, it is a ILM (socket latch) backplate replacement, therefore it can only be compatible with the LGA-1155/1156 socket.
