Make sure you sandpaper the hole, and then put some U rubber over it to avoid sharp edges. Put some grease around the newly drilled hole, and then screw your computer, screw it hard. Maybe install some UV lights and turn em up to indicate that your computer is also excited.

Look for ALL possible screws. Might also be some at the top.

I see two screws on the back, and 2 or 3 three under the fan. Did you remove all those? Then, the heatsink might be stuck a little because of thermal paste/pads

If all the screws are removed and the unit will still not come off, heat it up with a hairdryer. Get it good and warm, don't worry, you won't hurt it. If it has a thermal pad instead of paste or thermal pads on the memory, it's going to need to be softened before you can get if off easily. Heat is the only way to do that.
