Need help with backplate for cooler

[Drew69]

Hi,

 
Motherboard - ASUS Prime Z390-A LGA1151

CPU - i9 9900k LGA1151

Cooler - ID-Cooling Zoomflow X 

 

Any advice with backplate, it’s a universal backplate and one corner is touching the silver pins at one corner? Should I just cut that part off or is ok for the rubber to touch them?  It’s only the top corner, all other corners are flush with the mobo.

 

thanks in advance

If it’s the rubber touching that’s fine, that’s why it’s there, as an electrical insulator.

Thanks, I’m just worried I might bend them little silver pins and break it when I screw it together

Can bend the pins or cut them off if you want it flush without an issue. But the rubber should be thick enough to where its not an issue.
