Hey, so I'm planning on building this pc https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4gfByX , but I'm afraid that there may be some incompatibilities regarding the space needed to place the ram into the mobo. Basically, I'm afraid that the cooler is too big to fit in the ram. Thanks in advance

Yes, there will be a ram clearance issue.
If you are using only two sticks of ram, there will be a preferred or required pair of slots in which to install the ram.
Check the motherboard manual.
Since the vengeance has tall heat spreaders, expect a problem.
You may have to omit the front fan or relocate it to the rear.
As an alternative, I suggest the noctua NH-D15s which will not have that problem and it is a bit cheaper too.
The s variants are high compatibility versions which clear tall ram and are also offset to clear graphics cards mounted in the first pciex16 slot.

The noctua was my first choice.. until I saw how it looks. I chose the dark rock pro 4 because it has a good performance and it looks good in the black/red theme I'm going for. Is it hard to relocate the fan to the back and what are the cons of doing so?
Just get this and there's no clearance issues.
