I have a 212 evo but i have failed 3 times now trying to mount the thing and its especialy tricky with corsair vengeance ram so i am looking for an alternative and this cooler won't fit over corsair vengeance ram either i just noticed

You should be able to lift the fan up a bit, or mount the fan on the other side.. It's a little bit of work and may not perform quite as well - but should still be better than stock cooling.

You can probably figure something out unless you are using a really small case etc.

Ok. Sounds like you don't know how to install it properly. You cannot tighten one screw all the way down. You need to partially tighten one a little then immediately tighten the other side. Did you install the backplate even?

Try re-reading the manual.

also when i lay the mounting bracket down flat on a table i can tell 1 or 2 of the screws don't even reach the table.
