ryzen fan springs way too strong?

In Jan 2020, I installed a Ryzen 5 3400G into a asus mother board. The springs on the heat sink required about 40lbs of force to engage the threads on the motherboard. Have these springs been changed to a more reasonable strength?

Sadly not, and my handyman who built his own PC couldn’t do it either. My hands hurt even trying to move them, they’ve hurt for a decade, no thought to accessibility. I could build a PC before just fine. Not sure what to do now, couldn’t send it back just for that.
