My bad i should've said that. I have the Kraken X53 on an am4 board. 

I'm not sure you needed to buy anything then, the X53 utilizes the existing AM4 backplate, which means it attaches directly to AM5. 

 

Remove the plastic retention brackets that come on the AM5 board (as you did with the AM4 board), install the spacers the correct way up then the threaded bolts. 

 

AM4 and AM5 is the same in this regard, the fastener spacing matches.
