Need help putting system together

Ok, I'm putting together the cpu/motherboard and zalman hsf.
The mobo is the DFI Lanparty UT NF3 for amd 64.
Ive got the cpu in and Im looking at the Zalman instructions and I'm kinda lost I guess.
It says to attach the nipples to the mounting plate, but all I see around the CPU is this yellow piece bracketing it in a square. When I take the screws out of that, it completely comes loose and the nipple screws arent long enough to hold it in place. So what am I doing wrong or missing here? I dont see any place to attach the nipples unless I'm supposed to take the plastic ? bracketing completely off and screw the nipples directly into the motherboard?

Thanks in advance for any help, advice !
 
I watched the video....

I took the bracket around the cpu off like the Zalman video shows and tried to put the nipples in, but they dont reach far enough to screw into the plastic piece in the back of the MB that held the bracketing in.

so it looks like I need to get a backplate from somewhere?


 
you should have gotten a backplate with the Zalman -and that should do it I believe .... I even have a spare one because I installed a couple and one of those was a different mounting (socket A) so if you need one.... send me SAE and shipping....
