No, that will keep your heatsink from making proper contact with the core. What processor are you using?
 
You can drill a hole for a tiny thermistor through (or partly through would be better) the bottom plate of the heat sink from the top and fit the thermistor in thermal compound. You must deburr the hole if you drill right through the heat sink.
