Mounting driver on heat sink?

I have a qb648 on a dual board heat sink and I wanna mount my driver to the back. Any suggestions on how to do it? I can’t drill through cause the boards cover 99% the heat sink. I sorta messed up and plugged the driver directly into the board and now the wires don’t seem want to come out lol. I should have just spliced wire into the cord and put the driver on a piece of wood on my wall outside the tent but the wires I had didn’t fit the connector on the board.
 
Would have to see the heat sink to see what can be made to work. Maybe some thin aluminum angle can be attached to the top of the heat sink then mount the driver to that. If you don’t need the extra heat mount the driver outside the grow area. If the heat is needed just hang the driver off to the side so you still get the heat from the driver. I don’t like having the drivers mounted to the heat sink because your removing a lot of the heat sink’s capacity to cool by cover the cooling fins with another heat source
 
Imma just tie it up with my light hangers I’m getting I don’t like it on the floor either and im scared to pull the soldered wires from the board lol

Is there a release tab or a part of the connector you can push to unlock the wires? Maybe cut the wires and extend them?

Yea I was thinking just cut them and wire to other board then run parallel onto next board but there would just be two unusable connections. The plastic tabs on the connector broke when I tried pushing on it to remove them I believe I should have just re ran new wire lmao
