The Pi5 (and Pi4B -- possibly the Pi3B+) uses all the available metalwork as a heatsink. So the heat is coming from the SOC. A heatsink on the SOC should be a sufficient solution -- either the Active Cooler or the fan case are effective.
If for other reasons you want a passive solution, then heatsinks on everything, fins vertical in free air will help.
But consider also that you may not often need the same heat dissipation in normal use as for benchmark tests, and that the Pi will protect itself from overheating by slowing down before it cooks itself.
