Alternative cooling for the Lenovo Thinkstation P500

The computer has the LGA2011 mount like this shown in the pictures.

Will I have any problem mounting any LAG2011 compatible cooler on this?

I'm sorry if this sounds stupid but my Lenovo workstation has a lot of proprietary things on it so I wanted to make sure this is not one of them. Also i wanted to use this cooler but one page says it supports LGA2011 and the other not. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004434667261.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.3.136a2fccU9q6Qc&algo_pvid=d7d6cb95-a41c-4745-b2c5-7baaafd1575f&algo_exp_id=d7d6cb95-a41c-4745-b2c5-7baaafd1575f-1&pdp_npi=3%40dis!EUR!93.53!74.82!!!!!%40211be10916847654481881538d07e2!12000029172049477!sea!GR!2358484870&curPageLogUid=ufJjxHbob5oh

The page you should look at it is the manufacturer's page...

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

My phone's auto-correct is named Otto Rong.🤪😂
