MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK NEED cpu cooler issue need help

[yeti]

I've ran into issues with this motherboard and the "be quiet Dark rock 4" cpu cooler. The cooler fan covers the 4th dimm memory slot. I got " Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro sl 32gb (2x16gb)" ram.

the MSI manual states you must run dual channel in slots 2 & 4. I cant because the fan covers slot 4. I tried moving the fan up a bit so the ram fits slot 4 but then cant get the case side panel on as theres not enough clearance the fan sticks up too much

I've not fully built it yet as using the psu out my old system.

Whats the best way forward? Does anyone else have this board if so what ram and cpu cooler do you use?

any help appreciated

ok looks like i just need to find ram thats not as tall. and i should be able to make the cpu cooler/fan fit. Looks like i wont be able to have rgb ram as its too tall

For 2 dimm configs it's usually A2 B2 and A2 isn't the closest slot to the cooler but the next one along.
