Hello,
i've got a Noctua NH-L12S, Aorus mITX PRO Wifi, and a i7-9700 + Nouvolo steck as a case.
The problem is that I mounted yesterday the mobo with the ram, cpu, all good.
Was going to mount the cooler and did this:
I pressed with force still nothing, the only way to its tight, it's if I screw one screw but like pushing it, I can fit it well but then the whole cooler is a bit oblique and I have to put major pressure on it so the other screw aligns with the notch, and I don't think thats too good.
So my question is.. how dammit hard I have to press to screw it, I already bent a bit the cooler by pressing it.. I don't want to break the mobo but idk, thinking of going to a place that builds PC's and let them mount it because I'm not sure if I did something wrong or it's just me that doesn't press enough (even if I applied some good pressure but anyways)
Do you have any idea of what could be wrong?
Thank you!
PS: Do you think it will fit the cooler if I move the fan on top the heatsink (Clearence mode) in a Nouvolo Steck?

Was going to mount the cooler and did this:
- Took the backplate and mounted (only 1, only 1 direction possible to fit, all good)
- Mounted the 4 separators (black ones that are for Intel)
- Mounted the 2 brackets with the nocth upside, only 1 for 1151
- Mounted the 4 screws that comes for Intel and there you go.
- Apply some thermal paste and time for the cooler/heatsink
- Align the screws on the 2 notches and start twisting.
