When you install the new transistors, you need to bend the legs like the ones below. If you leave the center leg straight, the transistors may not lay flat against the heatsink which would cause them to fail prematurely.
Ok. So bend the center leg. So it lays flat against the heatsink. Should I put heatsink grease on It or will the grease left behind from the old ones be enough. And is there anything else I should know before trying to fix this?
You will need to remove the old heatsink compound from the insulators and apply new heatsink compound between the transistors and the insulators as well as between the insulator and the heatsink.
Some JL amps won't work with a signal source that doesn't have a grounded shield. Either connect the RCA shield to the amp ground or use a normal head unit.

Please don't post in a repair thread that was started by someone else unless you are trying to help them.
