I've bought an NZXT Kraken M22 water cooler for my CPU (Ryzen 3700x). It is compatible with AM4. After removing the default backplate on the mobo, the backplate provided by NZXT, although it fits, the window in the rear is too small and seems to "cover" a couple of metal components. From watching videos on YouTube of this cooler, every other motherboard seems to have less of these metal elements on the rear so the plate fits fine, but on this mobo it doesn't. Any advice? Is it okay to cover these elements with the backplate? See attached image.
