Struggle with Kraken and AM4

I recently installed the Kraken on my Z570 board, using that troublesome AMD style mounting... (MSI ACE Z570)

After good half an hour or so of struggle and scratching  the cold plate a bit, manage to put it on, but I am worried if I damaged the AIO's cold plate by. I don't know why that mounting still exists... I don't know if anyone else struggled with it too. There is no liquid leaking or anything like that and seems to making contact. The scratch marks are outside of the circle of pre-applied thermal paste. I can't really turn it on as my gpu is on back-order...
