Intel I51035G1 92~C on load, and it's a 15W TDP CPU??

I'm gunna guess it's something like these metal legs got bent, and screwed with the pressure/mounting

there's no benting or pressure, i just didn't remove a single screw in the pic thats all. (It's not stuck)

VRAM, VRM, etc nearby - they'll need pads. If they're too thin they'll overheat, too thick they'll push CPU and GPU further out. If that happens with LM, bad times ahead.
there's something looks like pads but i don't know if its the soldered RAM or VRAM.
What is the laptop model number?

It's Acer Extensa 215-53G.

I found a video that i recorded while disassembling laptop.

The heatsink is including only one pipe for the GPU and CPU.
Fan is held by 2 regular screws. Doesn't feel like its loose.

If you can solve my problem i'd be so grateful.
as you can see

You are aware that a 0.1mm flex can cause the issues you're having, right? They could be MEANT to be angled, and you've straightened them - or they simply have from long term wear and tear.

Dont make assumptions as to the problem, investigate them and test them.

I don't see any bents on heatsink or metal legs. I will try to cool the heatsink as much as possible, LM sounds sketchy and don't wanna take any risks rn

How can i see difference of not flexed between 0.1mm flex?
I'm trying to investigate but also not trying to break laptop at the same time. I appreciate for help tho =)

Photo got glitched during the upload i don't know why.
I cleaned cpu pch as you mentioned (2nd pic)

I'm out of thermal paste so i hope it works.
(I cleaned the part where pch and heatsink contants too dw)

After a GTA V benchmark lowest settings, my cpu throttled after 15 minutes! (Good improvement)
It still dropped to 0,3 ghz but it did a pretty good job. (I did benchmark without charging)
Then i let the laptop cool off for second run.
Laptop got heated much quicker compared to non-charging
Settings i've used

Should i remove the backplate of laptop so cooling pad can cool it more?
 
well i think i'm not gonna get help anytime soon,
if you're reading this and having same issue like me there's 3 options for you
1. fuck portability:
just buy a decent desktop cooler and put it on the laptop's cpu (you need additional brackets)
2. get rid of it:
you can sell it for 500~$ if you have similar specs and get a decent dell desktop or build yourself with used parts (don't use used PSU)
3. lock the ghz at 0,90 or 1.2 ghz:
i'm not sure if yours gonna throttle (mine did even locked at 0,90) but throttled only on gaming and editing videos so you have to sacrafise those abilities
bonus: Liquid Metal Cooling
I have no idea but it worth a shot.
If your heatsink is small, do NOT try to liquid metal. also follow instructions from a trustworthy source (LTT has a good video on it) [LinusTechTips]
good luck and thanks for everyone for the suggestions.
