Hello,
i'm having a problem with my computer. I removed the heatsink to put some new thermal paste and when I unscrewed the heatsink (Cooler Master Hyper 212). One of the 4 metal things the screws get screwed into came out with the socket.
Now I can't screw the last screw in. Am I f**ked ?
Please if someone can help me that'd be great.

Sorry English isn't my first language and my camera's broken. I think it's what you just said. It's a metal cylinder with a hole in it for a screw to go into and there's 4 of them. Now when i screw it just doesn't do anything as it just moves with the screw...
