About to install a cooler, help?

So I currently have a Noctua NH-U12S waiting to be installed in my PC, but I'm too scared to do it in fear of breaking something. Right now, I'm using the Ryzen stock cooler, but I'd like to change it.

 

Any tips or help? Thanks.

 

EDIT: I have isopropyl alcohol, a coffee filter, and some arctic silver thermal paste. How should I use these?

read the instructions before, and then follow them step by step all the way through installation

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Cooler comes with clear instructions, enough paste for 3 indtalls and probably best mounting hardware on market. Take it easy and be careful with paste. That's only place where you can mess up. And even then you can just redo it.
