Hey guys, i'm having a bit of trouble installing my Hyper 212 EVO, as the title says. I have a Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 7 mobo, and an Intel 4790K processor. I've installed the provided backplate and standoffs, but when I try to install the X mount two of the screws are too high to go into the standoffs. I've been fiddling with it for 20 minutes and cant figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Pics- I drew arrows by the two that are raised too high: http://imgur.com/a/BSq8S

Could you make a picture of how you install the radiator ? I had a few of theese, but had a no problem with screwing em. Sometimes you have to rotate/re-position the upper plate, so you can screw everything, it makes different angles, where the difference comes.

I'm not seeing the problem. It looks like all 4 screws are sitting on their threaded posts. You have to push down a bit to start the screws when the cooler is under the x-bracket. Be sure the center thumb screw is snug once you get the x-bracket in the correct notches.
