So I bought a new cooler for my 2nd PC but realized that it will not fit due to the motherboard layout and the mount brackets so do you think I should try using zip ties or is there a better solution to mounting it?

Does it have a backplate? From the pictures I can find it appears that it does, and you're going to need the holes that it obstructs if you want to zip tie the cooler down.
