You have to remove the mobo to access to its back side.
Use a pair of pliers to pinch the white push-pins on the back side, while you pull them on the front side. There's no thermal paste, no sticky pad, nothing, so removing it is a breeze.
Have fun.

Yeah, gotta mod it before. Anyways, you'll have to lap its bottom since it's warped..
A dirty solution is to put zip ties. Some nice solutions include soldering/drilling the blorb (if you have the hardware), or sticking it with thermal epoxy (like arctic silver epoxy).
