The SE 204K has a universal backplate for both AMD and Intel platforms. Simple insert the four tall screws to the assigned screw holes as indicated in the manual.
For any AMD board, you need to remove the stock mounting brackets first.

Then mount the cooler to the processor after applying thermal paste. I will be using a Junpus DX1 thermal paste for consistency.
Secure the cooler using the provided screws. You can tightened the cooler by hands.
