do you think i can use a copper heatsink pad instead of the adhesive pad to make contact with the case?

For a Raspbery Pi 3 B+ is not necessary, just apply some thermal paste between the cpu and Flirc case and you'll get better heat transfer instead of using the included thermal pad, screw case tightly. If using a Raspberry Pi 3 (Not the 3 B+) then what I did on mine was using a copper shim of 1mm and applied arctic silver thermal adhesive between the copper shim and the Flirc case, after fully dried then apply thermal paste between the now permanently glued in shim in the case and the Raspberry Pi 3 cpu. On both cases, it was the perfect solution to achieve the maximum overclock that the chip can without overheating and using a passive heatsink solution (no fans).

Can you see the leds now for the pi 3?

Yes, but they are blocked if you are using any generation before. It was too difficult to support both, and most users are buying pi 3's now.

There are 2 chips on the Pi that seem to need heat sinking. This case only sinks one? Is the 2nd chip not heat sinked?

Only the CPU, and it's arguable if the other chip needs a heat sink, really depends on your room temperature, never had a problem with any of mine.

Whenever i touch the siding of this case when the device is powered on, i get shocked and my raspberry pi 3 resets. what can i do?

I have not this behaviour on my Flirc case... My you check the screws, which leads through the board. Have you also inserted the cooling pad?
