If you have a Mac Pro tower system as pictured to the right here then you'll need to follow this IFIXIT guide Mac Pro Late 2013 SSD Replacement.
The metal cover (heat sink) on the SSD unit is part of the unit (Apples part). Are you sure you have the correct replacement part? You need a special M2 PCIe SSD unit so far there are only a few suppliers for this part make sure you have the correct unit.
Well OWC has created a upgrade option here it is: Aura SSD for 2 Generation Mac Pro
