@ttystikk I got four 120mm fans but not sure how to wire this. I have a 12v 5Amp power supply to run them. Can I use 18AWG? Can I just sit them on the heatsink , or is there a good way to permanently mount them? Only wanting to use 1 per heatsink if possible

Use zip ties. Drill a hole on the outside find of heatsink and zip tie them from the corners onto the heatsink. And yes you can use 18 Awg as long as it's a constant voltage supply not constant current. Make sure of you do more then one fan you wire them in parallel.

@Getgrowingson thanks this is what I will do, and ty for the tip to use parallel wiring on the fans.
