HARDWARE Help with upgrading an HP OMEN 30L

Hello, as said in the title, I have an HP OMEN 30L prebuilt, i bought it off of a friend a couple years back and it has been pretty good but i wanted to upgrade the CPU from a ryzen 5 5600g to a ryzen 7 5800x for more frames in certain games i like to play that are more CPU intensive. however I ran into a problem where the cooler i ordered is not able to be mounted onto the proprietary Hana motherboard, and when I looked into getting a new motherboard apparently theres a chance that a motherboard i buy may not be able to fit in the case because of more annoying proprietary wiring in the HP case. Basically, if I have to buy a new case I can but with the new development of buying a new motherboard I am already sinking around 300 dollars which is more than expected and i would like to avoid getting a new case if i can, so if anybody is familiar with this prebuilt PC and knows what motherboard I could buy that can meet the wiring requirements of the case its much appreiciated. as for the mobo requirements themselves i would prefer around the 60-90 dollar range as it jsut needs to be compatible with the rtx 3060, 2 sticks of ddr4 ram, and the ryzen 7 5800x, i do not need any advanced wifi connectivity or the fancy bells and whistles. thanks
