An adjustment member is provided through the top wall of the retaining clip to adjustably control the pressure and tension of the flush communication between the heatsink member and the electronic device package. A channel in the heatsink member may be provided for recessed installation of the retaining clip to permit unrestricted installation of a fan on the top of the heatsink.
