That square is thermal paste applied by the factory. Just remove the old cooler and processor, put the new processor and cooler in.
As for the lever, it's just a little mechanism that locks the cooler in place. You'll have to secure those metal tabs with the holes in them to the retention bracket, then clamp the lever down and the cooler will be secured.
