Hello, after applying thermal paste with a spatula and installing the cooler, if you notice a snap during tightening, it’s likely due to improper application. Reapplying thermal paste can help fill gaps and prevent air bubbles.
It means a part of something was broken and had to be removed completely. The situation involved taking away a section, leaving it in place, and then restoring the item without having to repeat the process. This happened after handling a cooler, adjusting something, and putting it back on its original state. You didn’t have to do this again for minor tasks.
It seems the cooler shifted sideways while tightening the first screw. Unless you're working with something extremely sensitive like 14900K, it shouldn't be a major issue. If it did snap off completely, that could indicate a more serious problem. Not sure what to do next.
You're referring to those videos showing Intel CPU coolers. When you push the clips into place, the opposite clips can break off from the motherboard. Are you wondering if cleaning and reapplying thermal paste is necessary after making contact between the heatsink and the board?

Your concern is whether cleaning and reapplying thermal paste is necessary after the heatsink makes contact and is removed, leaving a damaged appearance.
it’s not necessary to reapply the thermal paste unless it’s hardened and old; otherwise, you can reinsert your CPU as many times as needed. Just be careful not to remove the existing paste, or you might end up with a mess on your motherboard—though this is rare if you just reseat the cooler.
When the cooler is adjusted properly, air pockets are eliminated and they release completely.
