Clean the remaining paste of the heatsink side of the assembly (far right in the picture)
Small strip of paste going lengthways on the CPU. You want to avoid air bubbles in the thermal paste.
Note: This was actually a bit too much paste. Once you put the heatink and fan assembly on, it will spread out on its own. Avoid the temptation to spread the paste out!
