I bet you could, but the flat heatpipe might compress. I don't know if they are designed for a lot of clamping pressure.  As you tighten it down I think it will just smoosh. Maybe you could find a spacer or washer combination that is just slightly less tall than the flat heatpipe, to limit how much it will compress.


Also that second picture has an offset square shape orientation which would press into the heatpipe with a sharp edge and dent it, I think you could shim that with a copper plate or sand off the elevated area.
