All of my parts have arrived and it seems as if I cannot fit this heatsink onto the CPU, the when I slot one retention clip in, the other doesn't seem long enough to be slotted in... I've watched a few videos and people seem to manage to put it in with ease, am I doing something wrong?

There will be one side with a movable handle and the other with just a metal clip. You should hook the one without the handle in first then move the handle to the unlocked (longest) position.

The place the heatsink down flat ontop of the processor and move the locking handle firmly so it secures the cooler to the processor.

Update: It is now on, had to apply quite a bit of force... not entirely sure why it was so difficult. Anyways, thanks Buxtyy for the help.
