Hello everyone,
Today I began my new build using an MSI Z170A gaming M5 and a DeepCool Assassin 2 CPU cooler. I followed the installation guide carefully—placing the backplate and brackets—but the cooler doesn’t seem to fit properly between them unless I adjust its position. I’m not sure if that’s necessary, and I don’t want to return it unless absolutely required. Could anyone help me with the instructions?

I don't need to alter the orientation.
