Then something is wrong. Either you did not correctly seat the CPU in the socket, are trying to use a cooler not intended for use with that socket or there is something else not sitting quite right or interfering. I'd take it all back apart and make sure you didn't install the CPU wrong and bend the pins all to hell.
