No, it doesn't use push pins. You simply press the buttons to activate it.

You don't have to do anything special. I took out my AIO and placed a Peerless Assassin inside the case. You'll need to determine how it connects—check for screws and springs, and apply pressure until they engage properly. It might require some force.
I haven’t tried this before and I’m not sure about the operation details... That’s why I’m confused about the brackets. Are those the OPs? I’m not sure if all coolers require them. I’m wondering what CPU and cooler you have—though the thermal paste makes it hard to see. Can you clarify so I can assist properly?
I really enjoy reassembling the cooler while the backplate feels quite unstable and risks damaging your SMD components. TESAFILM comes to the rescue! @YoungBlade it explains why cases have cutouts in the back—so you don’t need to mount the cooler externally (which is pretty rough). It’s definitely a hassle, but you can hold it as suggested by @freeagent. Better use something like Tesafilm or whatever your team prefers instead of regular adhesive tape. America definitely has Tesafilm!
Can be completed in five minutes within the case as well, though you must have a stabilizer for the backplate... That said... we're still unclear about the best cooler applications... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
