It is very, very hard to see the gap you speak of but I'm wondering if the cooler's base or it's retention bracket might be resting on the top of the row of capacitors on one side of the socket.

Tighten it down (12). That screw is barely in there. It's meant to be tightened till it stops. If it stopped already, you have it crossthreaded.

done, I think I need to hide images but idk how. No, no one part of cooler dont touch capacitors

I worry if it may cause much pressure and damage mb or cpu

 

[Mr.Scott]

It shouldn't.
That is how it's supposed to be installed.

The cooler manufacturers design the mounting systems to create the proper amount of pressure by tightening the screws all the way. That's what those plastic spacers are for that go between the mounting bracket and the motherboard.

I take it this is your first experience in installing an aftermarket cooler.
