[H115i PRO Install Questions]

I'm building a new computer (19-9900k based) and I am using a H115i PRO for cooling but I am having an issue with the install of the system. I have the plastic back mounting piece on and the correct bolts (LGA 115X/1366 Standoff Bolts) installed but the back piece is lose. The bolts are completely tightened down but it still has a lot of play back and forth. I figure that when I put on the actual cooling block, it will tighten down. I have installed an H50 in the past and I had no issues.

I have looked online a lot but I see where people are either saying that it will tighten up once the block is installed and then I have also read about people using rubber washers. I really don't want to use the washers because the system wasn't designed that way and I can imaging that the washer will eventually deteriorate.

Any advice on installing the 115i would be greatly appreciated.

 

FYI, I am using a MSI MPG Z390 Gaming PRO Carbon AC motherboard if this helps.
