Cheapest/quickest solution- cable tie it up.

It needs a serious clean out too!

Take this as an op to clean the crap off the card, and cable tie it up

It should just push up and clip in. If the clip is broken from the dust you can always stick some black gaffa to the side.

Dust is one of the best insulators of heat there is and the last thing you want on heatsinks, if it can scupper a multi billion dollar space rover it can scupper your PC, clean it for gods sake lol.

I think you might want to get some fan filters to prevent that happening again.
