Replacing Coolers on a Asus 1080 with different brands

Hello, I hope you are all doing well.

For context, I have recently upgraded to a new PC after using a Asus G20(something), and have taken out the parts of that, this being a I7 7700 and a ASUS Turbo 1080, which has a blower style cooler, to use in another build for my partner which I have recently completed. But I was thinking that the cooler on the graphics card was not really ideal for the open high airflow case and I'm wondering if it is possible to change and use other coolers. From my searching AliExpress, I have found coolers for the

 I'm wondering if i could use the coolers on my current card, the heatsinks and their corresponding heatsinks I've found will be attached above and the ASUS TURBO 1080 pcb Below.

For some reason I’m having an issue determining what wants to be put on what.  The asus has a much higher profile aft to clear 2layers of caps that the MSI doesn’t.  It asus cooler might fit on the MSI board but not the other way round.  There are 3rd party coolers like the arctic one

but they do it by being raised on both sides so they fit more stuff.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Sorry for the inconvenience, i want to see if you can put the MSI and EVGA coolers on the ASUS turbo as i found the two coolers for pretty cheap on aliexpress. Thank you for the response though, i will look into 3rd party coolers.
