Hi, I installed my hyper 212 plus on a Z97mx gaming 5 motherboard, but the only way to fit de x shaped bracket is in the wrong way detailed by the manual. This is the wrong way

and this is the right way

.
Don't know what I'm doing wrong, screws are in the right position.
Runned prime95 for 5min and max temps are 65ºC, room temperature is 2ºC.
In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n47WBQI31eE the guy installed the bracket just like I did, so I don't know if I should just leave it that way.

I did some research and I saw that the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is not compatible with your type of motherboard (LGA1150). It is a list error, so I do not advise you to use it because if it does not fit the way recommended by the brand then you run the risk of damaging your computer. If your tower is lying down you can use the cooler without problem but if the tower is standing the cooler runs the risk of dropping from the motherboard.

Mine is the plus version, but all the hyper 212 are compatible with socket 1150 according to cooler master website and manuals.
