So I am trying to fit my fx4300 into my am3+motherboard but for some reason the cpu wont fit when I put it in it wiggles like diagonaly if u know what I mean. And there are no bent pins

It will wiggle before you push the pin back down. Have you even pushed the pin back down (the lever)

before installing i pushed the lever up just like the video told me to but i can see that the processor wont go in all the way lets say one side goes in and other doesnt and it can be either side just one side diagonaly wont go in

Ohhh, now your making a bit more sense! There might be some dust or something like that in the socket. Try checking all the holes. Running a vaccum over it (VERY GENTLY, WITH THE LOWEST POWER) Then try again.

Or use a dust can or with low power

Dust cans are not that common in most households, but that would work too.

Is the golden arrow aligned with the one on the socket?

Bit of a weird suggestion, but try holding the lever a bit more back. So it really opens up fully. I'm running out of suggestions. But sometimes that lever can be a bit stubborn.

I tried to hold the lever as much as I could while inserting the cpu but still it can't go in

When a cpu only goes partially into the socket, that means you likely have bent pins. 

 

Hold the cpu to the light and rotate while looking down the rows of pins.

 

If some are just slightly bent you should be able to carefully move the back straight into place. An ID card usually fits down the rows, you can gently slide that along each row of pins as well.

 

Good Luck

Then maybe I guess the socket isn't right or he put something in there
