Hiya,

I managed to get the unit installed but the cooling unit has a bit of play. The backplate needs the front plates on to secure but you can't have the front plate on with this cooler so I've only got the backplate secured with the 4 mount screws. I've tightened those as much as I dare but the cooler will wiggle around still.

What can I do?
 
I didn't use any of the spacers (I saw a thread on here saying to avoid them).

I just stuck the square foam onto the back plate then screwed the mount over it into the heatsink/cooling unit.
