I can't find a retention arm for a 2011 V3 motherboard

[Ykcud]

I have a 2011 V3 motherboard that lacks a retention arm or back-plate. I got the back plate covered, but I can't seem to pin down retention arms for it. I have tried Googling around, looking at eBay among others and still nothing that I am looking for. Could anyone help point me in the right direction?

Edited, because I look like an idiot who misunderstood the question.

 

Spoiler

Maybe I am just foolish, but can't you just buy a new heatsink?  most come with the mounting hardware needed, and it will replace the stock retention arms and such.

Getting the heatsink in place while the cpu is very loose on that socket isn't the best idea

The OP is refering to something like this:

"CPU Holder Socket for xxx"

For examplle the F socket or 1207 socket there are these:

For AM4 socket there are these:

Its a R socket or LGA 2011 that it needs to fit.

I am really struggling to find any seller. 

Maybe look for old "broken boards" and scavenage parts?

I just double checked, and nothing under $40 currently in the US (which is where I am located).
