How to remove heat sink

I can't remove the heat sink, I feel like I might break it by lifting up each end too high. I unscrewed the 2 screws on both ends but I feel like I can't remove it without breaking it. I don't see any other screws unless it's beneath the black covers on the heat sink by I can't remove that either.

Thank you.

If you have the two screws out, it looks like them only thing holding it on is there thermal paste. I’d try sliding it to see if there is any other attachment.
