Issue with Corsair hydro h90 and z170-a motherboard

[Damdern]

First let me apologize for any typos as this is from my phone. Now a couple of months ago I started building a new computer, and towards the end I decided to go with a water cooler which was something i had no real expierence with over a traditional cpu cooler. After looking around I decided to go with the corsair h90 not realising it would not seem to be compatible with the mother board I had gone with the asus z170-a due to components surrounding the cpu. What I'd like to ask is if there are any potential work arounds, if I'm just doing something wrong, or a good cooler in the same price range that is compatible.

As for the rest of my specs if it's needed, although I believe in the mb and cpu cooler are the only issue.

Case: Nanoxia deep silence 5
Cpu: Intel i7 6700k 4.00 GHz
Gpu: evga 1070 sc
RAM: corsair vengeance LPX 32gb DDR4 3200
Psu: evga 850 supernova
SSD: Samsung 850 evo 500gb

Responses are appreciated

Why isnt it working with the motherboard? What issues are you running in to?

If you look at the picture of the motherboard I linked those cylinders and square pieces surrounding the CPU socket keep the back plate for the h90 from properly fitting into place.

Those components shouldnt be in the way, referencing images it looks like there should be enough clearance.
Could you maybe post some pictures?

You could always look into something like the Cryorig H7 for its very user friendly and compatible mounting system.

Here are some pictures of the mother board and the backplate and there's no way around those components(direction of the backplate doesn't seem to make a difference) besides cutting parts of the backplate out, unless the backplate can sit on top of them and just be held in place by the adhesive strips it comes with? If not I'll look into the cooler you recommended.

Ah I see.
That plate you are installing goes on the other side of the motherboard, the standoffs poke through for the retention bracket to screw into.
Corsair's install video is quite helpful (and short): http://www.corsair.com/en-us/hydro-series-h90-140mm-high-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler

Thanks a lot, don't think I would have got that on my own any time soon if at all.
