I thought thermal paste was included with the CPU? My AMD PII 955 BE came today just opened to find no thermal paste. Does it come with another component or do you have to buy it separate?

Thanks
 
I've got the cooler and CPU, oh ok just i was reading the build guide and it said apply the paste, so the grey stuff on the underside of the cooler is the thermal paste?
 
Ok one more thing, just put the cooler on, its a kind of bolt action but only one side will clip in the other side just will not do it. Pics to explain:





If you can see it clips on one side but not the other, any ideas?
 
I am pushing loads and it just wont go down at all, its like a sea-saw design type thing, either side works on its own but neither together.
