I'm not sure what it's supposed to look like, and I've had some difficulties finding it. Can I get some links, please?

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.🤪😂

There's 2 version, either the universal shim one thats made by Thermal Grizzly, or mounting plate version, such as the one thats made by Noctua for their SecuFirm system. Look around the cooler brand's catalogue for AM5/AM4 Offset Mount first.

You're someone I haven't seen on here in a long time!

 

I couldn't find them on NewEgg for some reason... I don't buy from Amazon because of how they thoroughly screwed me over. I'm assuming I'd have to go with TR or an imitator since I need a universal offset, correct?

Feeling's mutual. IRL has been really unfriendly to me.

If you dont have any options that are in brand, those shims are mounted straight with your board and i dont know how thatll affect tensions around there. YMMV.
