hello.
if you want to fix transistors or opamps you will drill some holes in the heatsink i think.
so you may fix the heatsink with screws on the board.perhaps you can use self tapping (or self drilling) screws,or use a steel cavity fixing for the screws..............
annother method is fixing with glue but i do not like it very much because the glue " gets dry" and crumbles after a longer time.......
greetings...........

Okay
Because I was thinking about using an L bracket:

and self-tapping screws:

I hoping to find a guide on the form or the web that would help show thing like this

I wouldn't use self-tapping... The heads can torque off the shaft and then you've got yourself a difficult-to-remove problem on your lovely heatsink. Run down to a tool shop and buy a drill bit, corresponding tap and a tapping tool (if you don't have a good-quality powerdrill with clutch).
The upside to this investment is that the tap will more than likely prove itself useful time and again.

I've seen spring clips used as well but on smaller sinks. You might have to screw the clips to your heatsink anyway
