[SOLVED] I was cleaning my pc and decided to remove my cooler to clean it, but now I can't screw it back in

So I decided to finally clean my pc and I removed the cooler to do so. However when I first installed the Ryzen 3 2200g stock cooler, I had issues getting the very last screw in. I don't even remember how I ended up getting it in. The last screw in particular always made a creaking noise so I decided to keep it in and use compressed air from inside. However whenever I tried to screw it, it wouldn't budge just like the first time, so I began unscrewing, and the whole thing popped off! Now I can't seem to get the damn thing back on, and I can't buy a new cooler or thermal paste immediately. How do I get my CPU cooler back on?

Update: I removed the whole thing off and found two holes in the cpu screwholes! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!?
Update 2: Ok so the backplate was what was preventing me from lining it up and screwing it, but its still a struggle

alright so no one helped me but i ended up getting in it was just really <Mod Edit> tedious, maybe I should get a new cooler because that was ridiculous

If you screwed the screws down individually, all the way in, that would explain its difficulty. Should always just barely start all the screws, then tighten each a few turns in an X pattern or back and forth, until all the screws are screws are set.

Yeah I had to do this, still a pain in the backside though
