[strike]unless you've somehow configured it wrong; i would guess it is bent/defective...[/strike]never mind that.

awesome it did fit.
it should be rather snug but have some slight diagonal wiggle with little effort. if you experience any memory errors or unexplained BSOD it may be on too tight but i doubt it.

is supposed to be a little bit strain on the cpu plate to ensure contact. maybe just press harder to fit.

never had this problem with a hyper 212 on AMD or Intel setup.
could be that one of the arms is slightly bent. or may be old hard thermal paste keeping it from laying totally flat?
