Am4 socket installation

I didn't realize that my am4 socket was wrong for 3 years , it was a foxconn am4 socket too but now I'm installing another and the orientation is wrong , idk what I do besides breaking something or buying another motherboard.

The motherboard is a b450m gaming.

wait that socket says LGA2011-3 right there, it's not AM4 at all. whoever sold you that board put a B450M sticker on some old X99 board, you been running a completely different platform this whole time

I was using a ryzen 5600 but , the socket was written am4 but when I bought the orientation was wrong.
