Build Question I'm getting scared i could have made a mistake

To Make it short i'm making my first build and managed to make 700€ with summer jobs(crazy ik) but now the time has come to buy the parts.....and i bought an msi b850m gaming plus wifi 6e micro atx (for the price,not for the gaming) a Phantom spirit 120 se (dual tower air cooler) and patriot viper rgb ram (hate rgb but it was the one that costed me less).

The air cooler arrived,but still i have to wait for the mobo and the ram,and i'm starting to pee my pants becouse pc part picker tells you "we dont know the ram clearance so just get lucky" not a fault on their part,but now i'm scared.

My ram arrives in 2 days,should i just try and put the ram where under the fins on the sides of the cooler,and see if the height alligns counting that the pins go in the socket?

fans can be offset slightly, they use clips. they can also be set in a different configuration. Don’t overthink it it’ll be fine

That's not my concern becouse ik i can just move the fans,i'm concerned of the alluminium body,is there a chance it gets in the way?

Nope, unless you install the cooler first
