   I am having tough time with my workstation build since screws #2 and #3 of TR4 socket is not tightening (free moving) after installation of the 1920X. I triple checked and the CPU was inserted correctly as explained by ASRock people.
Here is the video showing the problem : https://youtu.be/88lAysBlrUA
Please help!

	Not that uncommon, esp. if you have an earlier mobo revision where the socket is known to be crappy. My opinion is go for RMA. Not the first thing you want to hear, but in long terms it's the most sane one, to me at least.
