The CoolMaster HeatSink is held using two centre tabs on either side of the 462 socket. One centre tab broke off. So I can either a) replace the 462 socket or b) leave the socket as is and find a heatsink that uses the "outer" tabs on the socket.

Suggestions welcome on where I can buy the 462 socket and/or a heatsink to fit the 462 socket.

There are heatsinks that use outer tabs. For example, many ThermalTake heatsinks use all three tabs from each side:
