It was barely tightend on. And If I could find a screw like that I dont think I would be having this problem.

Or some really cheap grade metal, if you take one to the local hardware store I am 98% sure they can find you something that will work.

What can I use to put the heatsinks on? They keep falling off, And I did clean my vram before I applied the ram sinks.

I'd email thermaltake, just bad luck getting a screw that'll break when you barely tighten it. I got might nice and tight and nothing broke. DuOrb is a great cooler don't give up on it because of a faulty screw. As far as the heatsinks, I had the same problem, but just hold them on for a minute really tight and then leave them alone and they should stick just fine.
