Ultrasound frequencies and Heatsink

Dear Helpers,

I won't give introductions, briefly speaking, I lack information regarding electronics.

I was checking an ultrasound machine for treating cellulite and fatty areas for the body, so user complained that the ultrasound heads are not oscillating much.

I put some water on the heads and started the ultrasounds, oscillation needed adjustments, so I managed to get to a potentiometer to adjust the oscillation.

I was mounting back the covers of the machine, until the cover hit one of the heatsinks on the ultrasound PCB and broke its legs.

As to my knowledge, the heatsink will cool down the board, I didn't solder the heatsink to the board, because I thought this will not damage anything.

I switched on machine and started ultrasound, no more oscillation, no more the buzzing sound of the ultrasound heads.

I would like to ask, what is the relation between heatsinks and ultrasound frequencies? And why did the ultrasound pcb stop working eventhough there is an identical heatsink next to the broken one.

Mind my electronics knowledge, and please answer my stupid questions.

Awaiting your soonest reply before I get into trouble with customer.
