Question Need help changing ram - ACER - Predator Orion 5000 PO5-600

[MentalH]

I have purchased my first PC.
ACER - Predator Orion 5000 PO5-600 Intel® Core™ i5 GTX 1660 Ti Gaming PC - 1 TB HDD & 256 GB SSD

It seems to be using alot of memory while playing COD.
So i have bought some Ballistix 2x8gb DDR4 - 3200 ram.

The issue is i cant seem to install the ram as the fan is in the way.

The picture below if taken from the internet but shows the same issue.

Im not quite sure how to remove the fan to install the RAM.

Some help would be much appreciated.

I'm not familiar with the cooler
And the image doesnt show this very well but
Most coolers have a fan strapped on using clips. (thin metal wires)
You need to pull them towards the back of the case then spread them (towards the bottom and top)
Then release the fan.

Looking at it more there are grooves in the cooler near where the fan is, its probably where the clips rest.

Thanks.
It has 2 screws and then 2 plastic clips either side.
Im very hesitant as i dont want to damage the clips or my pc in anyway.
Is there a special tool of some kind to undo the clips as it is quite hard to reach.
Also im assuming it will be wired in some way.
