Need help in installing corsair H115i in Asus maximus hero IX motherboard.

[gopiaeroengg]

Hello Guys, I purchased corsair H115i for i7 7700k processor and Asus maximus hero IX(LGA1151).

Installation procedure followed:

1. Connected 2 fans to radiator and kept it aside to install later.
2. At back side of motherboard, Installed Intel back plate
3. In front side of motherboard, Connected LGA115X stand off screw to intel back plate
4. Tightened the standoff screw's tightly

After connecting LGA115X standoff screw in intel back plate, i observed that standoff screw is not fitted rigidly with intel back plate.

At back of motherboard,if i pull intel back plate outwards/inwards then stanoff screw fitted with intel back plate is also moving outwards/inwards. I tried to tighted as much as possible but there is some gap and due to it there is movement in between intel back plate and standoff. Is this expected ? can i proceed further with installation ? or there is any error in setup ? Kindly advice. This query is holding me up.

Once you install the pump and tighten it down the backplate will tighten as well.
