I have a CPU Cooler, a Corsair Hydro Series H55, and I have installed it and whatnot correctly. My problem is I cannot fully put the side of my computer on with all 4 screws holding in the CPU cooler, as they stick out and prevent me from shutting it.
What do I do? Thought about getting rid of the screws and putting in the default fan ones but to me that sounds kinda stupid.

Do you mean you cannot put one of the panels on your computer?

Yes. Had a bit of a mind-blank writing this. I can put it on, but I cant put it on completely. Its not a massive deal, but I prefer it to all be together type thing.

Case is too small for the cooler. Not enough room between the motherboard and side panel to fit your block. You'll just have to deal with it, or get a new case.

I kinda fixed it.
I just got rid of the circle things that go with the screw, they were making the screw kinda pop up, not allowing me to push in the side panel.
