Have this mobo:

This cooler:

I can see how it fits together theoretically, trouble I'm having is the intel screws for the fan don't fit through the mobo holes. AMD screws do, but then the AMD screws don't fit in the cooler plates.

Don't want to push the intel screws through too hard, feels like they don't fit. Anyone got any suggestions?

MOBO backplate looks unremovable.
 
OK, happy to take a small hit on this at this stage and just buy a fan that 100% will fit for sure. I want to be done with this build! Can anyone point me to one they know 100% fits correctly?
