You should usually have the fan blowing towards the back of the case, most people have the fans in the front of the case blowing into the case and all the others blowing towards the back and out

I agree. You do not have to remove the heatsink to fix it.
Shutdown..snap off the 4 clips that hold the fan to heatsink..put it on the other side.
It will take cool air from the front and blow it to the back fan (make sure that rear fan is blowing out, not in.

* MAKE SURE YOU STABALIZE THE HEATSINK WITH ONE HAND WHILE YOU DO ALL THIS *

i tryed but my ram gets in the way. is there a way to get it to blow out while still on that side

You could possibly flip the fan in its bracket so it blows in the opposite direction, but it would be pretty inefficient trying to suck thru the fins as opposed to blowing thru them. I don't recommend it.
You sure it won't just clear the ram? I have a similar setup and layout, and it looks like you have the same space to work with
