        @Jekku If you have the nespi case with a fan already installed, you must remove that fan before you can use the dual fan heat sink. Also, use some white scotch tape and tape the heat sink to the raspberry pi with a dry fit. The fan slot in the case can interfere with a proper install. But, there is a certain position while still being able to give full contact to the heat spots on the pi when it is installed. Also, recommend using the flat copper heat sink for the chip on the back of the board. I have actually done this but without the copper heat sink on the back of the board. To be honest those double fan heat sinks actually fall off rather easily if given a light to medium tap. It is better to just use the regular heat sinks with the Nespi case fan installed.
