when i opened my miners i noticed that even some of the capacitors are a little bit higher than these chips. as these components are located on different sides milling need to be done in more places in my case, maybe in 2-3. i think i'll skip that and just use 5 thicker 2mm pads. the original pad is a real shitty one..
here's one sample how components may be touched with heatsink:
