    Ok, that's confusing. Do you have the CPU installed, as well as the plastic cover, or just the plastic cover, or just the CPU? Maybe a picture would help.

    Well, as long as you actually socketed the CPU, and then the cooler - rather than just the cooler, with nothing underneath - then you're good to go.
