There are no pattern written by Acer on how to secure the thermal module screws for the AN515-52 laptop, but you should follow a pattern of a clockwise crossing pattern that secures the thermal module force evenly onto the cpu/gpu and chipset that need cooling.

I suggest that you start at the highest point screw and cross over to the lowest screw then go to the furthest screw left then furthest screw right following a clockwise pattern, as that should secure the thermal module securely to the cpu, gpu and chipset which get hot and need the thermal module to be cooled which all the heat is dispersed by the fan module to the side vents.

Below is a diagram of the thermal module and fan module screw positions and their toque force quoted by Acer for the AN515-52 laptop. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

There should be some numbers printed on the heatsink for tightening. Slightly tight the screws following the numbers sequence and fully tighten them until they cannot go further anymore (use enough force, not too much).
