I sent my system in for repair and when I got it back the fan on the heatsink fell off. There are no holes on the heatsink to screw it back on so right now I'm just using tape. How do you install the fan for this type of heatsink?

What heat sink is it because some fans just clip onto it where as others screw in to a gap, and others screw into the heatsink.

It's a AMD Athlon64 Certified CPU Fan & Heatsink. I could slide it onto the heatsink but it falls off if I tilt the system.
