so i'm installing the CPU fan. and it seems to me that the clip ons are actually really loose. it says to push down and turn nob 90 degrees. but after i do that for all 4 sides, they still lay loosely, im able to move it just a tiny bit. im confused on whether its suppose to be like that or not.

EDIT:
also the power connector is 3 pin. do i put that in the "cha fan" section on the motherboard? cuz the CPU fan connector on the mother board is 4 pin.

What model fan is it? And putting a 3-pin fan connector into a 4-pin array is fine; the fourth pin would be used for speed-control, but your fan will work perfectly either way:)
 
Push it down, but do NOT turn it 90 degrees. Turning 90 degrees will release it, at least that's how the Intel stock coolers work.
 
that's why i didn't use an intel stock cooler for my rig. they're annoying, and they're a pain to switch around. they don't push down hard enough on the cpu imo. they're just cheesy.
