Ek gtx 580 waterblock not in contact with RAM chips

[Letterkilled]

So after replacing my broken gpu block, I picked up this EK 580 waterblock

For my evga 3gb ref card.

Everything seemed to install fine, but when I gave it a last inspection I noticed that the block only made contact with the gpu. This is the first time I have used EK for the GPU, but I remember that my other block made contact with them. The only thing that came with block was the screws, standoffs gpu reinforcer and 2 square thermal pads that need to be cut to size. At first I used 1 pad, and after noticed the non-contact I used the second pad but there was not enough to make the row closest to the Barbs touch.

so...anyone know what I should do? Or if it's not that big of a deal if they dont touch?

I guess this block if for IHS-less gpu's. I on the other hand have the card that HAS this feature....so in other cases im f-ed

This could bend your card! And there's nothing in my mind that you can do... =/
