Is Bracket needed for NZXT Kraken 360 for socket STR5?

Yeah as the subject line says is there a bracket needed to secure NZXT Kraken 360 AIO cooler to ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE mother board for Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 series.

I already talked to tech support from NZXT they said a bracket might be needed but they don't sell said bracket. There are other coolers that have brackets for specifically to fit the STR5 socket.

You would think NZXT would know which sockets a NZXT cooler will fit?
