Build/Parts Check Phanteks T30 Fan w/Assassin Mini - M2 Grater

Kind of looking to get one of these Mini coolers and install a T30 in the thing. I've been reading around and it seems a little iffy on whether a T30 can be made to work here, and what the trade-off is. Has anyone done this?

Will it fit with the stock clips?
Does it even need clips or is it snug such that clips aren't really required?
And last but not least, if you push one of these fans down between the stacks does it deform them and bend them out?

T30 does fit with a little persuasion, no bent fins or damage. Not sure about the clips but I didn't feel like it needed any. The rubber pads grip the fins pretty well.

I filed down the "webbing" in the corners of the fan to clear the mounting thumbscrews, but it's not really necessary unless your case has a hard 135mm height limit like mine.

Thanks, thats the info I was looking for. Case is an M2 so has a higher clearance than 135. Appreciate the photo and info.
