HP Envy 17 heatsink question

Hello. I have an Envy 17-1150es with the usual overheating problem. I have already changed its thermal paste twice.

My question is: The heatsink has a section that covers the board capacitors as well (above and to the right on the attached picture, beside the processor section), but it only has a hard-rubber-like substance. It does not get any thermal paste. Does it need to be replaced as well? And how?

Thank you.
