hello. i just bought some hardware components to assemble a new computer. i have an Asus P5WDG2 WS Proffesional, an e6600 processor. i bought an asus V60 cooler. installed it yesterday but this morning as i inspected the motherboard a little i saw that the cooler(the aluminium discs) was touching the copper cooling that surrounds the processor. All the screws fitted evenly but it's somewhat a concern to me. I inspected the user's manual and it is corectly installed.("please make sure the cpu cooler arrow is pointing toward the I/O").

As you can see here there is a part on the cooler that has a diamond in the middle. The bad part is that at the bottom of the cooler, the aluminium is shaped like the tip of an arrow, that's the part that touches the copper cooling of the motherboard...it's pushing on it...

Here is the motherboard. the cpu cooler touches the part of cooper that is toward the I/O.
is this a reason of concern? can things go wrong? is it a bad thing if i rotate the cooler and install it differently from the manual? thx in advance..
