I don’t know your laptop but was wondering if it may be better to see if you can use a suitably sized nut/star washer and bolt arrangement to hold down the heatsink. That way yuo won’t have to worry about the heat problems

This of course depends on whether there is enough space under the systemboard to accommodate either the nut or the bolt head, depending on which way it was installed. It may have to be insulated as it passes through the hole (not sure about that) to prevent any possible electrical problems.
Here’s a link to the [https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/xps-15-9550-laptop_service-manual_en-us.pdf|service manual] for your laptop (taken from this [https://www.dell.com/support/home/au/en/audhs1/product-support/product/xps-15-9550-laptop/manuals|webpage] which may be of some help. Scroll down to p.50 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove the systemboard.
