Alpha pal6035 install question

This intake cover thing with the 4 notches in each corner..

Is this thing supposed to sit flush on the heat sink? If so, is one of the metal pin things from the heat sink supposed to go inside there? I've been toying with this thing for a bit and I can't get it to sit flush, any tips?

Thanks

 

The cover should sit above the heatsink a bit all around.
It gives it like a centemeter or so air gap for the fan.
