Update to anyone interested.

 

Found some real strange happenings.

 

Took the advice of @RevGAM and @freeagentand changed the fan setup. 

 

Moved the 120mm fan to the rear of the FC140, can see everything now and temps actually dropped slightly, not sure why, only thing i can think of is the fact i have enough air flow and pressure from front intake fans to force some air through the front fins with the help of the middle 140mm cooler fan and the 120mm fan also assists this, so essentially i have a 3 fan tower, "front fan" being a combination of all intake fans

 

Also contacted noctua and they simply said "noctuas offset brackets work with noctua coolers" so i dont know if they dont want to say anything or cant say anything legally, regardless i will probably still buy it as its cheap enough and give it a test, i seen a youtuber use it on, i believe a deepcool cooler, so it looks like its standard top and bottom spacing for AM5.

If they answer that question, they will sell more frames and lose money to competitors on coolers. Coolers and fans are where they get the best profits.

 

Look at the diagrams for the frame, which are to scale, and see if the holes line up with your cooler.

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.
