The Alpenföhn CPU cooler is very easy to install and extremely quiet. Absolutely recommendable.

TL;TR:
For the AM4 socket, do not remove the plastic things.
These are needed for the mounting bracket.
I (dummy) had already removed the 2 plastic parts next to the CPU from the motherboard and didn't know how to mount the Alpenföhn afterwards.
Alpenföhn support promptly helped me out by sending me this Youtube video:

(In my defense: The boxed CPU cooler that comes with some Ryzen's bolts right on, you have to remove the plastic things to do that).
