Hello, i bought two R20 Coolserver coolers (socket 2011-3)from aliexpress for my Lenovo RDX450x mb running e5-2680 v4 CPUS.

The problem is when i tried to install these coolers I found that two screws which under the fan are not reachable without removing fan itself, thus i can't tight them.
However i have "modded" this screwdriver in such way to squeeze under the fan.

My question Is any special tool like align key for this cooler exists?

The normal way to install this type of cooler is to remove the screw at the top of the shroud so that the shroud and fan come off together; after this the socket retention screws can be freely accessed.
