Hi all, I'm trying to install the Hyper 212 EVO cooling system but I think that I was given a faulty mounting bracket, as pictured:

My screws are flipped upside down on half of the bracket! It came EXACTLY as pictured, which is extremely frustrating and stopping me from installing my fan on my mobo!

Is this faulty? Is there any way I can install it correctly anyways? Thanks in advance :)

Lol... Someone must have been drunk while making that bracket.. That is definitely not gonna work. I have one Hyper 212 EVO myself, and it surely doesnt look like that. I'd send it back, probably with a note..

It isn't evident from the picture, but you can't remove or flip the screws without damaging them. They are secured by a rivet with a spring around it at the factory. In theory you could flip them, but it would mess them up. I ended up getting in touch with CoolerMaster and they sent me a new X-bracket.
