Bend the mounting hardware itself evenly as you can to get it to fit

What makes you think it takes too much pressure? It can be scary to use these latching mounting systems but they are designed to put pressure on the socket so that the thermal contact is good. The cooler supports FM2+ out of the box (well, it supports FM1 but the cooler mounting is the same).

Your temperatures are high because basically haven't installed the cooler.

It can seem like too much force. But it's fine. My stock 3600 cooler was surprisingly tight. Just make sure everything is solid (can't slide around) and you are applying careful force.

Yeah, I remeber installing a Wraith Prism and thinking "If something snaps I sure hope it's this plastic lever that I'm pushing as hard as I dare".
