Stressing so much

I CANNOT get this damn cooler mounted! It’s been an hour and a half of trial and error and problem checking but it won’t fit. 

 

Cooler: cooler master master liquid 240l rgb

 

mobo: Asus prime z370-a

 

according to the manual the black caps must meet and the 2nd line but this cheap ass bracket won’t let that happen if it wants to align in the board and the bottom screws don’t seem long enough now when I managed to get the top 2screwed,

 

this is is so godamn bad!

why is this in air cooling tho?

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...

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

#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.

Unscrew the top screws, move the cooler down slightly, put all 4 screws in the holes, then tighten each one evenly at the same time.

LGA 1151 bracket.

The bottom left pin* is not popped in to the middle as the others.

*Labeled as "J" in the manual

 

Btw. you not supposed to tighten the top 2 screw until the bottom screws are not on. It is better to do it diagonally.
