Currently assembling the new battle station and I'm having the damnedest time getting the AIO screws to thread into the AM5 bracket. It's almost like the screws are just spinning and I'm not keen on applying force on the bracket anymore than I already am. This is the Artic Liquid Freezer III 420mm.

Any suggestions?
this part?

are you pushing the back plate if its mounted in the case? or is the motherboard being assembled flat on the ground/cardboardbox

or is the the 2 screws, from aio to the l/r brackets?

The 2 from the AIO to the l/r brackets.

Figured it out. Backed off both screws, loosened the bracket a little on both sides, MacGivered each bracket to the screw and they both caught. Then alternated each screw. That could have been a better engineered install, smh.
