I grabbed a cheap Rivet Gun from Amazon. On advice from the growmau5 YouTube channel. It took all of 5 minutes to learn how to use. Way easier than nuts and bolts. Downside is once you rivet two things together, it's more or less permanent. But, when using aluminum, that's not a huge deal.
edit: Should note that you don't need a rivet gun, or any kind of tap set. The heatsinks come pre-tapped, and include all the hardware you could possibly need. All you would have to do is drill holes in the aluminum pieces to secure them to each other (any drill bit will be harder than aluminum, and will drill through easily) then use a couple dollars worth of nuts and bolts to secure the thing.
It looks homemade with flanged aluminum pop rivets, like these.

You mean like the plastic ones? I wrapped myself around a gutter and had to take my stock rear fender off/put it back on. All I needed was these three generic Chrysler plastic pins:
(1) Chrysler: 6030441 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0040CYSUW?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title
(2) 25 Nylon Expansion Rivets 1/4 Hole Dia. 2-3/16 Length - these are hard to place without a river pusher, but I managed to do it without using needle nose pliars.

(3) GOOACC 036372 Rocker Moulding Clips

I think this might be the correct one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0040CZ3TW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I used these for my fender flare but there is also another type of clip depending on what part you are attaching if i remember correctly.
Pop/blind rivet
Pop rivet before it's popped.
