I have NZXT Z73 but loses my box and cannot ask for support in NZXT, there any chance my LGA 1151 bracket is compatible with LGA 1700 motherboard?
 
You can likely make it work.
Here is a video about the issues:

Note that the presenter used thermal pads and not grease.
That helped to be a bit thicker to offset the lower height of the cpu die.

NZT will likely send you a free kit, Check their web site. You might only need your invoice or even a picture. Otherwize amazon or wherever should sell kits for a modest price.
