How to fit CPU upgrade in O2

How to fit CPU upgrade in O2
So I bought a CPU upgrade for O2. This CPU comes with a gigantic heat-sink, and fan, and is shaped like a square. But when I pulled out the motherboard, the CPU module that was present had a notch in it to accommodate a ribbed heat-sink on another chip. This heat-sinks prevents the new CPU module to fit, am I missing some kind of riser card or something to make this work? Or is my motherboard the wrong revision for this particular CPU upgrade? And offcourse, how can I make this work? Smile

Searching the web and looking at multiple pictures, it seems I am missing a white plastic standoff / riser bracket to fit the new module.
Anyone know the part number, and/or where I might be able to find one?
