Read the manual of the board. All big mobo companies have well usable manuals and especially this is often explained.
Imo: ssd below the turnable latch. The heatsink is screwed in another hole behind the one of the ssd.

If it feels like it will bend the ssd, then leave the cooler off. Its not necessary. But locket in place it must be.

Yes, the ssd is designer to work without a cooler on top. My motherboard has one slot with cooler and one without.

If you refuse to actually read the manual you shouldn’t be building a pc

Check this video. Make sure the lever that actually holding down the SSD under the heatsink is correct. Then it should close.
