Thanks, I will try this out. The holes on the stock plate are too big for the cooler's threads

Oh wow I can't believe I forgot to do that. I've updated the OP. The photos are not the best quality but I had to do it quickly. I can maybe get higher quality ones after work tomorrow. Basically, the fittings in the first/second picture are not sufficiently penetrating the motherboard for...
