p4 heatsink/fan is loose?

I have a P4 retail and when I snap the little levers onto the motherboard everything still seems loose and I can wiggle it around. Is this normal? I don't think the heatsink is even touching the cpu completely when the case is standing upright? Did I do something wrong or what?

Also, can anyone recommend a good p4 heatsink/fan combo for overclocking that is also fairly quiet? I will eventually replace the retail fan I am using.
 
The hsf should fit firmly against the cpu so it can properly transfer heat. None of mine have wiggled around.
 
I don't think the plastic "hooks" are properly fitted into the slots. There should be NO movement at all
 
make sure the 4 points are securely through the mobo and that the 4 white pegs are placed in their spts to make sure the foot pegs to not work themselves out...
