AMD Athlon 6000+ Heatsink Problem

Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for the help

I ordered an Athlon x2 6000+ processor and didn't plan on overclocking it, so I stuck with the stock cooler. I also ordered a Biostar TF560 A2+ Mobo, which is (supposedly) AM2 compatible. As I'm sure many of you know, the 6000+ has a beefed-up heatsink with a couple of heat pipes. The problem is that I can't mount the heatsink because the plastic bracket that comes on the board gets in the way of the heat pipes. It just doesn't fit.

So my questions are: Does anyone know of any 6000+ compatible mobo's? Or, does anyone else have any other ideas? I really don't want to order an aftermarket cooler, as that defeats the purpose of a reasonably priced mobo and the good stock heatsink.

Help. . . Please!
