Probably thermal paste wasn't applied well. It needs to be even. Not too much, not too little. Id remove yhe cooler and try again. Also make sure it's tightened properly. Don't torque it down to the max but it shld be on solid enough not to wiggle.
I actually used these thermal pads provided in the box. Will switch to paste. Thanks.
