How to take of hyper 212 evo clips?

[Xexoxix]

I'm replacing the fan on my hyper 212 evo with a Noctua NF-F12 I lost my spare clips and I was planning on using the ones on the fan. How do I remove the brackets/clips on the e■ xisting fan? Thanks so much for any help. I'm really nervous about this...

Unscrew the brackets from the fan.

yeah, I got it done. Is it fine if I use the same foamey adhesive stuff that was on before? I do not have any of it and the stuff I DO have is around 2 times as thick, so I decided against it. Am I fine? will there be enough vibration for the adhesive not to fall off? If it does, I don't think anything horrible will happen.

I wouldn't worry about it, Tighten down the screws , I think the foam is because the fan isn't really that great of quality and vibrates. my fan finally died and I used a simple cooler master case fan and simply tightened it right down.
