I am trying to mount a Cooler Master Hyper EVO 212 on an ASUS Prime Z270-A/i7-7700K. I have watched several videos and believe I have done exactly the same. But when I put the cooler on the cpu, while the four corner screws line up, they are significantly above the threaded holes in the backplate screws rather than virtually touching.
You can see all the thermal paste I have spread around! Once I figure it out I will clean and reapply.
