Well,after you cleaned off the Thermal Paste,its time to apply it.If the Thermal Paste has a plug,just remove it

Now,put the tip of your Thermal Paste on your CPU,or put it just above the CPU.

Here,you have 2 options.You can put a dot,or you can make an x (like how i tried to make it).The way you put it does not affect anything,just as long as its on the CPU
