So i recently upgraded to the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz on my unit, per the specs page, and it came with a Wraith prism LED cooler after install the CPU i got to looking and my motherboard lacks the brackets necessary to mount the cooler fan. After some research it appears the hole patter on the motherboard may be completely different. The specs page for the mother board says its a AM4 socket and the fan says its AM4/AM2/AM3/AM3+ compatible but im not seeing how to make it work. Can anyone confirm whether or not i can use the Wraith Prism and if not could you recommend a cooler fan for it(preferably RBG).
i looked at the AMD Stealth cooler but again it says AM4 so im not sure if itll work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
The four cone-shaped pillars jutting upwards out of the board are the screwholes so no worry about alignment.
If you're in need of a bracket search for am4 wraith prism.
(Don't forget thermal paste on top of the chip before you set the cooler down.
