Hello.

Motherboard: MSI x570 a pro

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition

In the video the screw on the bottom left can't reach the hole on the bottom left of the bracket. What am I doing wrong? I triple checked the bracket and everything seems fine.

Thanks.

You need to apply some force. Push cooler down until you can get one screw in. Then push it again to get opposite one in. Rest will be easier to get in after that.

You have the brackets facing the wrong way. The notches should be facing outwards as opposed to inwards. 

 

Just noticed that the support tab on the cooler's website where the manual can usually be found is missing.. ?
