I recently purchased the Phantom Spirit SE cooler, and during the installation, I noticed that the fans might extend over the RAM by about half an inch. I'm concerned about whether this could cause any issues. To give you an idea of my current setup, I'm playing Silent Hill 2 (2024), and my CPU temps are sitting around 60°C with about 50% utilization. Do I need to be worried about the fan positioning? If it's an issue, would it be necessary to replace my RAM, and if so, what would you recommend?

You're good to go! A little overlap won't mess with performance. A CPU temp of 60°C is perfectly fine; you shouldn't worry until it hits around 95°C. Just keep an eye on it!
Installing the cooler as indicated shouldn't be any trouble. Just ensure everything is secure, and you should be set!
Honestly, it shouldn't be a problem. I have the same cooler, and my RAM was too tall too. I just mounted one fan in the middle and the other on the backside, and it worked like a charm! No issues at all.
