Or zip ties through the star loops and thermal paste between the PCB and the aluminum?

Evan, we've used these LEDs in a couple configurations. If properly spaced, a pair of 4-40 screws works great. I would avoid using nylon screws as the nylon might melt. The "PCB" is actually aluminum. The LED sits on a flexible circuit board that is adhered to the aluminum sub-straight. Here's a couple pictures from my collection of these little guys. In the second image, you can see the aluminum back easily.
