Personally, I reckon the solution would be to try and mount the fan higher up the heatsink. How about bending the wire pins or something like that? [Note: I haven't tried this, so its meant as a suggestion at your own risk!]
The other solution would be do to away with attaching a fan altogether and get a P180 case instead. The 2x120mm case fans suck hot air away from the Nina perfectly. I get 33c idle using the bare heatsink and the two P180 Antec Tricool fans at their lowest settings.

What motherboard temp are you getting david....I take it you're not using that included blower fan?
I've got the A8N32, Ninja, and the P180. I took the stock Tricools out and put in some Yate-Loons, which are running at 5V...but my temps are pretty shocking...44C for the Mobo, and 39-44ish for the CPU...at idle (CnQ enabled). Having said that...the temps don't really budge at load, so it's not as bad as it could be.
I also have the Scythe 120mm fan ATTACHED to the Ninja and put into a Q-Fan controller CPU header on the MB.
I think my ambient temp may well be higher than yours anyway, but wanted to know your temps/thoughts on the matter first.
