Stupid question but im installing the CPU on the mobo, orientation is correct however i cant close the metal cover? I lower it gently and it sits on the CPU forming an angle of approx 15 degrees? I dont want to force the load plate down as im sure it would damage the CPU......whats the deal?
 
yes it is suppose to be like that

make sure the cpu is alligned right and fits in the slot
and then you press the lever down and clip it in place

you are supposed to force it down
 
Hey thanks guys. In the end i decided to go out and have a few beers...which turned into a lot more bees. Came home, saw the box open on my desk and figured '**** it im sure it wont break'.

Lo and behald im installing windows as we speak. :D

Think I knew not to push my luck so after installing the CPU i passed out
