Tuniq Tower 120/GA-P35C-DS3R – An EXTREMELY tight fit! Advice needed

I don’t like to double post (and never have until now) but I’m not getting any response in the motherboard forum and I could really use some advice. Maybe it’s more appropriately posted here? Here’s the post. You don’t need to be an expert to respond; thoughts or opinions are appreciated-----

Tuniq Tower 120/GA-P35C-DS3R – An EXTREMELY tight fit! Advice needed:

I’d appreciate some opinions on this. The heatsink plate presses up against the capacitors which doesn’t prevent the screws from being tightened but the heatsink plate does touch the capacitors to the point of slightly pushing up against them—yes, very slightly pushing. I can see them move when I tighten the screws.

What should I do here? The heat from the plate can’t be good for the capacitors, right? And as I said, it’s so tight against them I can see them move when tightening the tower down.

Should I sand the plate back about 1/8”-3/16” at an angle since it’s only touching on the bottom? Seriously, I could use some advice as this is holding up my build.

If I do this can I test the fan first to make sure it works before voiding the warranty?

Note: I haven’t used any thermal compound yet since I was pre-checking the fit first.

Thank you for any advice you’re able to provide. I’m at a stand-still right now and not sure what I should do.

I appreciate the response. Is there an easy way to test the Tuniq before I do this.
