Anyone having problems fitting a hsf on this mobo? I can't seem to get the Akasa Silver Mountain on their, w/out the raised portion of the LHS lug raising the heatsink up a bit, so that it's not flat. Should I sand the raised portion of the Heatsink down???

I have not seen this heat sink, but is it still raised if you turn it around 180 degees?
 
No it isn't, but if I do it that way I cannot fit the clip onto the lug. It would cause it to slant up even more. I'm gonna wait to see what a shim and actual cpu core will add to it, so maybe the two ends won't be touching (You know what I mean)?
