Under the biege plastic cap on the bottom of the heatsink is thermal compound. Looks like in your picture you havent removed the plastic shipping cap from the bottom.

First time I have seen that! Did you power up the computer and smell melting plastik? I am guessing there is a whole lot of pressure on the CPU too! Was it hard getting that clip on?
