I am installing the Zalman CNPS12X
using ASRock Extreme 6 and Intel Core i7 3770K.
My question is in regards to the cross bar or fulcrum plate that extends over the center of the heatsink and attaches to the clips.

The heatsink has a hole in the center in which the cross bar plugs into, however the cross bar does not seem to go all the way into the hole and make contact with the heatsink. Almost like the cross bar pivots on the pin.

I tightened the cross bar using the bolts and wrench but there still is a little play in the cooler itself. If I grab the top of the cooler and twist it does move right to left a little. In other words it is not tight.
Is this correct?
Should the cross bar go completely down into the heatsink base?
Thanks
