If nBits is 0x1b0404cb the target according to wiki is calculated as
Code:
0x00000000000404CB000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

so does this mean if the block hash was the following it would be rejected?
Code:
0x00000000000404CB000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001

or do we set the remaining bytes in target to 0xff and then compare it with hash result? (Which means the above block hash could be accepted)
Code:
0x00000000000404CBFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

As shown in

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/d0f81a96d9c158a9226dc946bdd61d48c4d42959/src/arith_uint256.cpp#L213-L214

the rest of the bits remain 0. So that one is indeed rejected.
