Despite that ASUS has come forward with a statement on the issue now that it has caught the attention of the media.

It’s good that ASUS will be offering replacement parts for this oversight but it is still baffling how it got past quality control. It is just a minor issue but considering the board costs over $700, it is something worth getting annoyed about, especially as the board is meant to be a showcase piece.
ASUS will offer a replacement part to correct the issue which will require some disassembly of the board on the end-user side though some people may not be confident enough to do that. Whether ASUS will offer full replacements for those who don’t wish to take it apart isn’t clear.
