You won't need low profile RAM as most standard RAM sticks are pretty short, unless it has a finned heatspreader which is what causes most issues.

The side fan should be removable so taller heatsinks should fit but taller heatsinks are mostly always wider so this will not help RAM issues.

As Ewok93 suggested, a closed loop cooler would be much better than the cooler you chose as it would eliminate the problems you are encountering now and it will fit in nearly every case.
