Question CPU cooler and motherboard don't fit but are listed as compatible?

[SHI KI]

So i got a MSI MAG B660 TOMAHAWK WIFI (DDR4) motherboard with a 1700 socket and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO v2. They're supposed to fit and im following the instructions for the 1700 socket but no matter how hard i try i just can't get it to fit. What am i doing wrong? I have scoured the internet for answers but it says everywhere that they are compatible. What am i missing lol.

According to CM website it is not listed as socket 1700 compatible.

If it is a new purchase of old stock they may have a new mounting bracket for 1700 socket.
I would contact CM support to see if one is available.
It is a good/cheap cooler for lower wattage processors, but can not cope with Intel's/AMD's high end processors

The website i purchased it on lists it as 1700 compatible as well. I guess I'll begin by contacting them.

Could be you got old stock without the new bracket.

Not limited to CM. Many old new stock AIOs websites' list compatibility with 1700 but older revisions/packages don't have the braket.

Most manufacturers will send the 1700 mounting kit without any issues.
