Basic question about the HSF

I haven't built a computer in 3 years so I decided to try my hand at building a new, basic computer. Everything is put together but it seems like I did not seat the HSF properly. The CPU isn't blowing up or catching fire or anything. But the HSF seems to be wiggling around despite all 4 clips being in place.

When I'm using the actual computer, it will lock up unless I have my finger holding down and putting pressure onto the HSF (thus it's making 100% contact against the CPU).

Am I doing something wrong? I followed the instructions and the HSF is damn difficult to remove -- especially when all 4 clips are in place.
