I had the exact same experience with the longer screw being slightly off center. And, since I did not do the build on mine, I was unaware of the sticky tape holding the old heat sink to the case. Finally figured it out after reviewing the build directions, and then pushed on one end, fairly hard, till it popped off. Sailed half way across the room! But, all was fine and I completed the heat sink replacement. Fred later advised to use a heat gun, or hair dryer on the outside of the old heat sink to soften the sticky tape so that it would come off easier.

Very satisfied with the VE7FMN heat sink and Fred's support and advice! Very nice upgrade!
