Are washers or contact plate needed for 13th gen? (alien.top)

Hello Peeps, since retiring due to being diagnosed with chronic illnesses I am not up to date with the latest and greatest. So I need some help please?

I just purchased a Intel 13600K and a MSi S1700 ATX MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 motherboard and I am wondering if I need to add washers or a contact plate so the IHS isn’t bent or causes heat issues?

I have read conflicting stories on the subject. But thought it best to ask experienced and pro builders about this. Like I said since retiring all this latest and greatest technology eludes me 😳.

So any help will be greatly appreciated and thank you on advanced!

I saw almost a constant 7deg change with a contact frame on my 13900k in an SFF build. For $12 or whatever it costs, may as well just include it.
