Is the bracket needed for backplane swap on CSE-826?

The chassis came with BPN-SAS-826El1 but there was no metal bracket installed with it. The backplane I bought has one, but the screws securing the old backplane
aren't long enough to secure the assembly. Can I go without the metal bracket or is that a bad idea?

I did, this was laziness more than anything else. This chassis turned out to be a huge chore, PDU swapped too. I'm not sure what I expected for 90 bucks, it was an old x8 Netwitness appliance. Maybe saved 50 bucks all in.
