The angles are used to attach the fan to the radiator frame rather then using those big pointy sheet metal screws that end up a fraction of an inch from a cooling tube after spreading several fins. They also have a more positive fastening capability with the nyloc nut then a SM screw.

That frame folds over fins on the radiator though doesn't it (dummy fins)? So you have the bolt through the radiator, right? Maybe I'm still not quite sure where that bolt goes on the short side of that tab. Then you also have a screw in the side of the radiator to attach the angle tab?
