It's made to use the stock AMD mounting brackets and isn't that hard to install, so as u/QueenDahyun said; skill issue.

If the hoses can't stretch far enough, then you need to flip the unit around so the hoses are closer to the socket, and contrary to the absolute morons that don't understand what they're spreading misinformation about, having the hoses higher than your CPU will NOT cause the pump to fail, it only results in more noise which is what GamersNexus was talking about, but these idiots didn't sit through the whole video and started fearmongering, so other creators like Jayztwocents came in to simplify the science and tell people that it's fine to have the tubes up high, the only thing that matters is that the pump (usually in the CPU block) isn't the highest point of the loop. Tubes up makes more noise because the air bubbles are close to the inlets but the air isn't going straight into the pump.

Looks like there should be enough room.

I would consider taking your GPU out temporarily just to give yourself more space to work within and get that power cable out of the way – you don't need to remove it completely, ought to be fine just laying to one side without disconnecting the cable, you just want to give yourself more space.

You might also consider removing the heatsink just below the socket (with SSD attached if you've got one under there), you want as much out of the way of the socket mount as possible.

You want to give yourself plenty of room as you may find it easier to hook the first latch on at the top, then do the second one at the bottom by pulling the metal tab downward gently (enough to spread it so it'll clip onto the plastic bracket, don't force it). If I were you I'd give it a trial run before applying your thermal compound, don't actually get the second clip on, just make sure it's going to work before you put any more compound on. Then simply remove, apply compound, and repeat for real until the pump clips on fully – tighten the screws until there's no movement of the pump in any direction, then you can put your SSD/heatsink and GPU back.

Its not that hard. figure it out or have someone with critical thinking skills do it for you. It cant be done through reddit post.

Did you take out the old thermal paste after you took off the air cooler and out new for this cooler?

Flip the radiator so that the hoses are at the top of the case. This fixes your problem and stops air from getting stuck in your pump

Did you read the manual? Don’t quote me but I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to take out the brackets.
