Recently i got the A6-9500 to update my motherboard for the ryzen 3 2200G but before finding out i needed to update the bios (stupid me didn't check the box for the ryzen 2nd gen ready) but the wraith stealth gave me quiet a bit of trouble and i quite love the A6s Cooler but its kind of a dinky little thing but would it be interchangeable to use on the Ryzen 32200G (from a cooling standpoint) given how they are both 65W parts

I would imagine the Wraith would cool at least a little better... I don’t know why you would want to swap that cooler on. Are you sure you installed it correctly?

My Build, v2.1 --- CPU: i7-8700K @ 5.2GHz/1.288v || MoBo: Asus ROG STRIX Z390-E Gaming || RAM: 4x4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 2666 14-14-14-33 || Cooler: Custom Loop || GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC Black, on water || PSU: EVGA G2 850W || Case: Corsair 450D || SSD: 850 Evo 250GB, Intel 660p 2TB || Storage: WD Blue 2TB || G502 & Glorious PCGR Fully Custom 80% Keyboard || MX34VQ, PG278Q, PB278Q

The Experiment --- CPU: i5-3570K @ 4.0 GHz || MoBo: Asus P8Z77-V LK || RAM: 16GB Corsair 1600 4x4 || Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo || GPUs: Asus GTX 750 Ti, || PSU: Corsair TX750M Gold || Case: Thermaltake Core G21 TG || SSD: 840 Pro 128GB || HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB

 

R.I.P. Asus X99-A motherboard, April 2016 - October 2018, may you rest in peace. 5820K, if I ever buy you a new board, it'll be a good one.

im pretty sure its more for ease (being lazy mainly) and due to it not sitting correctly everything is aligned but one side always sticks up its frustrating (and worrisome i dont want to damage something unintentionally)

It sounds like you're screwing in one side of the cooler before the other. Make sure to tighten them gradually in an X-pattern instead of one side before the other.
