lol, the metal socket holder, not sure what its called, the screws on the corners was stupidly loose, one turn on the top two screws and they came off. The metal plate on the back of the board was just dangling loosely, lol. Im talking about those four screws that are very visible on the corners of the socket, they have star shaped heads and screw into the metal plate on the back of the board. I cant believe they are meant to be loose when there would be absolutely no way to tighten them after installing a heatsink or waterblock, which would then completely cover the screw heads.

Oh well its fixed.... Almost there, a few more connections and a quick leak test before installing the block and I should be golden...
