CPU Cooler final screw wont go in

[chaselgator]

I am using a ryzen 5 1400x and the final screw on the cooler wont go in. I took it out and re did it, same thing is happening. It goes part of the way but not completely. HELP

Back the other ones off slightly and see if it re-aligns correctly.

I have tried more times and it still wont work

Is it always the same screw? i.e. have you tried in a different order?

Whenever I do coolers, I give them 5 turns each, in corner 1,4,2,3 and then repeat until the lock, don't force any further, should give you an even pressure.

Yep I figured it out. Thanks
