I got a new motherboard and installed it correctly. However, when I closed my case a plastic clip in the case pushed the motherboard back to the point where it touched the wall. I saw a spark. My motherboard is still working fine though but I was wondering if there could be damage cause.

Sparks are not good.
A board should not be touching the backplate under any circumstances.
With the power off you should check your mainboard seating arrangements on the stand-offs and also check there's nothing under the board.

Yeah I did that. I think the board is fine though because everything is working really smooth and its not going slow.
