I want to install new CPU cooler but I’m very hesitant...

So basically I got a new CPU cooler (Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi, if it matters the cooler I got) for my pc and I want to install it but I’m scared I will mess something up. I’ve never built a pc or even installed/removed a pc part ever despite gaming on pc for years. I looked at the backplate and screws that it came with for installation, read the manual thoroughly, and watched multiple YouTube videos on how to install it. I’m sure it’s pretty simple but I’m just afraid I’ll do something wrong and I’ll mess up my mobo or something. Anyway, what’s the worse that could happen if I install it incorrectly etc.? Am I overthinking and should just try to install it? Or should I pay a professional to do it for me? Just looking for answers and advice because I’m clearly new to this. Thanks.

The worst that can happen ??? Blow everything up of course !!! Although, it takes only basic skills with screwdriver to do it. In some instances you may have to disassemble whole computer to install backplate.

Make sure to clean off the old thermal paste.
