Is it OK if I use both the heat sink that came with SSD, and also thermal pads above SSD that came with the motherboard?

Is that even better or is it not recommended?

Please see this image. So if I re-assemble the black plastic back, then the motherboard heatsink and SSD heatsink will touch each other. Is this OK? Or should I try to take that SSD heatsink away?
