Yes, thank you for the reply. I guess I will use Kryonaut’s recommended method this time (using spatula they give to spread it out).
My new fans do not have that little white dot, so I double checked with my original fans and videos online: the side with the white dot (that goes up) has these 4 little golden pins. I marked that side with a small black sharpie dot for future reference, but also remembering pins side goes up.
Thanks for your double check reminder. As I was typing this I realized I put one of the sharpie dots on the part of the plastic that goes in the motherboard. Baaaad idea. I used the isopropyl alcohol and coffee filter papers to wipe it off completely, now putting it on the little end sticking out (which is what it’s like for the white dot on my originals).

As you can see, the side with the pins has wires RED, YELLOW, BROWN, BLACK, from left to right.
