I've recently installed Thermalright ARGB Tl-C12C-s fans in my case alongside a Peerless Assassin 120 SE cooler, but now I'm dealing with this annoying high-pitched hum. I noticed that when I press down on the fan frames, the noise almost disappears. I suspect it's because the fans aren't properly secured to the case—I'm using screws from an Arctic P12 fan, and they don't hold them tight enough. What can I do to firmly attach these fans? I thought about using bolt screws, but I'm unsure if that's the best solution.

You might want to try adding fan pads to each corner of the fans. They can help absorb vibration and act like a washer, which will let you secure the fans better without the humming noise.
Do you have any recommendations for brands that make good fan pads? I saw Noctua has some, but their mounts look specific to their fans.
