Tons of coolers are able to twist around after you've screwed them down. Unless you have unbelievably terrible luck you're fine. ;)

Okay, so I got my cryorig h7 tower. I got it mounted and screwed in, but it's able to twist a little. Is this normal? Haven't booted up the pc yet, scared it may not be secured all the way.

if that cooler mount is anything like the mount used by the hyper 212 series then YES.

Okay, just wanted to make sure. Been ages since I've done an air cooled tower and freaked out when I saw it slightly twisted when I first mounted it.
