I wouldn't worry about it, I used to do that with several boards.
You can always check the temps if you want to be sure.

It's better that you check the temps and be sure about it. If your temps are in the 30-45 range then you're ok(idle).
Those heatsinks can be reseated if there's a problem.

Hey can I use two graphics on asus m5a97 r2.0 like to r9 280x

You can run two AMD cards on it but it isn't recommended.
The second PCIe x16 will run in a x4 mode and that will slow the cards down.
