Replacing a heatsink on my desktop?

I have a sony desktop and I'm replacing the heatsink on it, the processor is a socket 478, however my bracket is not the same as all the socket 478 brackets. Instead, it just has 4 screws sticking out. Do I need to replace my bracket and buy a socket 478 bracket? Or can I use some different heat sink that accepts the 4 screws.
