I tried installing the cooler master 222 x on my Asus x99 A motherboard and the brackets won't go all the way through the motherboard so I can't secure the backplate. It's my first build and I'm so frustrated

first cpu cooler install can sometimes be annoying frustrating,
step one... take a break... seriously... it helps

your plate should look like this

if I understand your problem you have trouble inserting the parts that slides thru the back plate sitting on the motherboard so that and the lower part of this picture is not reaching to the ferul below to lock it in place ?
