I've been struggling for about an hour to align my heatsink while building my first PC. I've tried rescrewing everything multiple times, but I still can't get it right. Any advice on how to ensure it's aligned properly? Here's a link to some photos for reference: https://imgur.com/a/RNtqsiq

You might want to start getting the thread going on one side first, then push down firmly on the other screw as you tighten it. The springs can be stiff, so don't hesitate to apply some force!

I've been trying that approach, but one side just won't tighten for some reason. Is there any chance I could send you a video of me attempting this?
