Hi, I accidentally unscrewed the cpu cooler tabs from my ryzen msi motherboard and can't get them back on. There don't seem to be any standoff screws. Not sure how it was attached to begin with. Considering using 4 nuts on the back of the mobo to fasten the tabs. Is this a good idea?

Theres a backplate that came with it that the tabs screw into, its a thin metal backplate with a piece of white plastic over it to prevent shorts, I wouldnt use 4 nuts, not only do you risk damaging the back of the PCB, but you also risk shorting on the case behind the nuts if they make contact, if you unscrewed the tabs whilst the motherboard is mounted in place then the backplate has probably slipped down behind the motherboard.
