No harm will come to the CPU from pushing down the cooler when you attempt to install it on the opposite side.

The purpose of the mounting system is to ensure strong connection

Make sure every pin is correctly inserted into the socket. Start by placing them in the opposite corners first to ensure even pressure, then proceed gradually. You should be okay as long as you avoid applying excessive force.

I need more details about the issue you're facing with your cooler. Could you explain what's not working and what steps you've tried so far?

When I attempt to insert it, it doesn't fit and remains in place.

Add intensity to the conversation. What a cooler move? Are you moving straight from one side to the other?

When installing a cooler using screws, follow the same method as for car tires. Arrange them in a star pattern and don’t over-tighten initially. Use four screws: [1]__[3], [4]__[2]. After placing them, tighten each one fully. This prevents the cooler from tilting excessively, avoiding pressure on one side that could harm it. Make sure no screw or hole is scratched on the plate. Double-check that every screw is completely in place. Don’t over-tighten the heatsink screws; stop once they feel secure. Pressing too hard can damage the CPU or motherboard. Some users report issues after installation, often fixing them by slightly loosening the screws a bit. I don’t recommend forcing the screws beyond what’s needed—just tighten until they’re snug but not overly so.
