Ryzen CPU doesn't really fit in mainboard

It actually isn't. Look at the arrow on the board and the chip.

Compared to the super sensitive angled pins in the Intel sockets though I still love these.

Agreed, This CPU is orientated incorrectly. Didn't have a single issue with my 1800X when inserting it. Plus it was definitely not orientated like that

I was not trolling. As you can see and as @Novasty I have arranged both triangles correctly. After straightening my pins as mentioned above I was able to insert the CPU into the socket and my PC works without any issues. Unless Ryzen CPUs don't care which way they are oriented, I certainly have inserted it in the right way.

Triangle is in the corner opposite the hinge-arm corner. It's also silkscreened onto the board. Take another look at the photos, OP's alright. And it boots…
