Cpu holes blocked

[HPTL7]

Hi
I'm currently building an amd gaming computer.
The case I'm using is a corsair carbide spec 03
I'm using an gigabyte 970a udp3 with a 8350 CPU.
I have a hyper 212 evo CPU cooler

I fitted in the motherboard and was looking at how the heat sink would fit.
So I checked and now I see it's blocked.
What are my options.

you can fit the cooler to the mobo outside the case then get in as many mobo screws as possible.

Actually its just the backplate part which you could get away with putting on. Then screw the mobo in and then screw down the heatsink.

Not actually having either the case or mobo or heatsink I can't say how much space you have to work with in there but give it a go?

Ok Thanks.
I have now realised that the cooler won't fit in.
The max size is 150mm.
The cooler is 160mm.
I saw on another site stating 150mm so thought it would be fine.
Any recommend for a heatsink?
Max £25-30

I use this but its currently out of stock, 145mm high:

This also looks good for the size, 140mm high:

This one is smaller but cheaper, performance on par with your 212 that doesn't fit and quieter too:
