So, I have this waterblock installed on this board and I didn't use a backplate. According to the instructions, you don't need one for it. I attached a picture I took of them for reference.

As you can see, doesn't mention a backplate here. Further down the this same installation page it says to install this block on socket am2 boards by the 4-holes through the board method (which is the one shown in the picture). So, actually you need to take off the backplate that comes with the board and slap this one on there in the screw holes that were being taken up by that.
