Nzxt kraken x61/ original phantom

[Camohunter]

So I bought a x61 off hardware swap for a good price and just realized it does not fit my case. There is plenty of room for it to but the mounting isn't compatible. Any suggestions??

FRONT, 1 X 140mm
REAR, 1 X 120mm (included)
SIDE, 2 x 120mm, 1 x 200/230 (2 x 120mm included)
TOP, 2 X 200mm (1 x LED 200mm included)

Hey bumping this, I bought the adapters but it still doesn't work. The fans end up hitting my motherboard. Any other ideas before I just try and sell my kraken

No, no, no, stop!
Have you tried mounting it inside the top of the case (under the cover), and not inside the case?

And yes, I unselected the best answer.

I did. But I can only get screws into one side so it didn't feel secure. The problem is those adapters kinda stick out a bit too... I tried reversing,them but that didn't work. Or is that how it's supposed to be? Just half way screwed in? And the fans felt like they wouldn't fit either. Maybe I have something installed wrong. I feel silly lol. Here is my entire set up.
