You didn't show how to remove the Fan. You removed the Fan and Heat Sink. There's 4 more screws. Finish the job.
Uh, this video is not complete. You have to remove the four very tiny screws that hold the fan into the fan enclosure, replace the fan, and replace those four screws (very precise work to get those screws back in).
Also left out the reapplication of thermal grease between the heat sink and the processor.
