Default Heat sink fell out

I was installing my new castle mamba micro pro, I had mounted the esc turned,the chassis on its side and the heat sink fell out.

It appears that they are held in by some adhesive, I assume that it has,some kind of thermal property. I emailed castle and will prolly give them a call, but I was wondering if there is,something I can do instead of sending ir back.
