Hi, a while back I bought a h150i rgb pro xt, but then I decided to go alder lake, the cooler isn't compatible with that socket so I contacted corsair and they told me all I'd need is the retrofit kit so I bought that. That then arrived yesterday but my backplate doesn't fit so am I able to buy a backplate from Ek or noctua ( https://www.ekwb.com/shop/aio/ek-ai...m0zcVOn3OmHb4j4_dbUWbuHf3CC96BSBoC03IQAvD_BwE and https://www.amazon.co.uk/Noctua-NM-...fix=lga+1700+upgrade+kit+noctua,aps,54&sr=8-3)
will these backplates be compatible with the h150i rgb pro xt?

You need to contact corsair again. Backplates are specific to coolers. The mounting hardware requires specific heights, etc.
