After I added the additional side fan to the "hot as the surface of the sun" die now it is getting adequately cooled, but the fan is just standing there not secured in any way and I can't even put the lid on.

Some of the spacers between the aluminum bar and the board prevent the heatsink from making good contact with the chip.  If you twist the heat sink from the top and it moves easily, then it is too loose.  I had to remove the spacers on a couple of boards that were hot.  Just make sure you don't over-tighten the screws once the spacers are removed.
