I have been using this with a ryzen 5 5600x for about 8-9 months now. Works great, bit of an overkill for the 5600x, should be able to handle ANY STOCK CPU reasonably well. Also, the rgb works seamlessly with gigabyte aorus board, without any additional msi software.
Can someone briefly explain where the 3 fans go? I've never done liquid cooling but thinking about it for my 3900x.
It depends on your case and other variables. It can be in a "push" configuration where the fans push the air through the radiator to move air in or out of the case. Or it can be set up in a "pull" configuration where the fans pull air through the radiator to move air in or out of the case. It can be mounted at the front or the top of the case. Do some googling of your case and the best location for a 360mm radiator. Even then you may see different opinions.

ty. My case is mid size (H510) so this is too big. Will look at smaller options

Can go either in the front or top. I have mine setup in the front to pull the air in. It has the pump built into the radiator itself so it gives more flexibility in terms of mounting compared to other coolers which have pump built in the cpu block.

360 is too big for my case unfortunately, want to get the dynamic first.
NEVER have the outlet of the radiator lower than the CPU.
TLDR: just make sure your CPU isnt the highest point in the assembly

TLDR: just make sure the tubes coming out of the radiator are level or lower than your CPU.

2nd your warning is completely backwards. You said to do exactly what he said NOT to do.
TLDR you do not want the CPU/Pump (if the pump is in the CPU plate) to be the highest point
