I'm trying to install my Thermalright Phantom Spirit cooler, but I'm having trouble. The screws don't quite line up with the AM4/AM5 mounting brackets. I managed to get one side in, but the other side just won't fit. I did flip the other bracket to its correct position, but it still doesn't align properly. Any suggestions?

It sounds like you might have the brackets installed the wrong way. Have you checked out any installation videos on YouTube? They can be really helpful!
Thanks for the tip! I had no idea, I'll check it out.
Are you fully tightening one side before starting on the other? If you are, try just barely starting one side first and then alternate tightening each side a bit until it’s secure. This might help with the alignment issue!
That’s a good strategy! I’m going to try that next time.
Good point! The brackets should curve inwards, make sure they're positioned that way.
