[SOLVED] Is okay to instal the wraith prism cooler with only two screws screwed into the bracket?

So I just bought another motherboard and it was open box. After installing everything I noticed that there’s only two screws for the am4 bracket. Is okay to only use those two screws(one for each bracket) to install the wraith prism cooler?

Nope , because it won't be sitting flush on the CPU , cooling will be compromised.

I would not. For ~8$ theres a complete kit with backplate, brackets and screws on amazon:
