The space where the CPU fan should be installed is simply too large for the screws provided with the CPU fan.

Confirm your cooler model and CPU setup. Which cooler are you connecting, and what platform is it compatible with?

The temperature is dropping from my Alienware. I'm running an i5 8400 on an MSI H310M with a dedicated motherboard.

Secure everything with zip ties!

It could be an Alienware model with a unique socket configuration. Since Alienware offers various PC options, it's tough to determine exactly what you're looking at. It might also be another cooler requiring a backplate, or Dell/AW possibly using a different connector type for heat sinks. I’d skip that cooler (it looks quite dirty) and opt for the original one.
