Hey all,

Currently building a Ryzen system, my first build ever.

I placed the wraith spire cooler on top of the cpu and began tightening one of the four screws.
The cpu cooler began lifting a little off the processor, so I unscrewed the thread and then slowly worked my way around in a diagonal pattern.

My worry is I don't have spare thermal paste, will it be fine or have I caused bubbles, etc?

Thanks for any help!
