Hello, I'm starting my first PC build. The initial installation went smoothly, but I didn't like the cooler's placement and ended up removing it to fit it differently. Unfortunately, it seems some screws are on the motherboard now, making it impossible to install the cooler again. I'm worried about harming the CPU or board (Asus B550-F Gaming). For help, check Leo Cooler's post here: https://pasteboard.co/JGdJmrt.jpg and the motherboard image: https://pasteboard.co/JGdJSUG.jpg

Has the backplate been misplaced?

I believe I've found it, I'll give it another shot later today, thanks a lot.

This seems to fix the problem. Just have to wait for the thermal paste delivery tomorrow! Thanks! I'll keep this update in mind once it's resolved.
