I have a small bit of the CPU sticking out while following the instructions for this cooler? It looks like I can cover it if I flip the cooler around.

I just got an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 280, I am following the instructions on YouTube to install it, but I noticed a very small portion of the CPU isn't covered by the cooler for me. Should I stick to the instructions 100%? It looks like if I just flip around the part that you place down on the CPU, that should cover the whole thing so I was thinking of doing that.

Feel free to provide what cpu you have too. It's normal on AM5 to have the bottom of the cpu exposed because there's nothing really generating heat there

I have a Ryzen 7 5800X3D, I didn't know certain areas didn't generate heat, figured the whole thing did lol.
