Switching AM4 mounting brackets

I've been asking quite a few questions lately. I just want to make sure you're all okay with me. To sum it up, I recently purchased the Wraith Prism cooler to go with a R5 3600. I also have a R5 1600 with a Wraith Spire (RGB). You know how they’re both mounted with different brackets, right? I also ordered an ASRock B450 Pro 4 for my son’s build—actually had to return it as faulty and wait for a replacement. I was thinking about swapping the bracket from his board with mine so we could pair them together (both got a 3600). But when I change the mounting bracket, I can’t recall what I did, so now I’m stuck on my own board (Crosshair VI Hero). My question is: if I get his board, can I swap his brackets onto mine to mount the Prism? Is there a significant difference between different motherboards that would stop this? If not, where can I find the right parts to install the cooler?

That's the issue you mentioned. I made sure the clips match between AM4 boards to avoid problems during relocation. I also found them on Amazon, but I had a wording mistake earlier.
