Alright, I just got my new 9800np, the stock heatsink was a PITA to get off, but I got it off.

Put on my waterblock, start to tighten down the springs and one of the rod pops out of the mounting holes in the base of the block.

So, I put it back in, and it does it again. And again.

Could I just superglue it in there? I mean would it hold?
 
I used a small long nose pliers to screw the long rod/bolt in place. Hand tightening it is probably not enough.

I had the same type problem when installing my Swifty block when I used one. In fact I chipped the hell out of my 9500 core doing it. It took me FOREVER but I finally got it on there. Just keep at it and check to make sure the hole isn't stripped out also.
 
that's pretty messed up, sounds like a stripped hole :(
i had tightened mine and it worked fine... you could try and epoxy/glue it in, or send it back
