You would have the fishing line going around the card top to bottom. I've done this before and it works well.
This. Fishing line is extremely underrated as a way to secure heatsinks. I've successfully used them on the CPUs of several socket 3 systems. What's nice about it is that it is cheap, it holds the heatsink securely in place, non-permanently, and it is so thin that its effect on efficiency for heat dissipation is negligible. Give it a try, and I'm sure you would agree. Good luck!
