It's weird the GPU temp stays low somehow.

looks fine to me.
a modern Laptop that does not thermal throttle to it's baseclock while checking your emails is already a win.
you could repaste or clean it but there's not much else you can do.

Are you using Max Turbo speed (3.9GHz) in-game?
I found with my 8750H the FPS difference between 3.9ghz @ .91V and even 2.5ghz @.71V was negligible while the temperature decrease was substantial. As much we may want "full performance" in-game, if you're thermal throttling to get 5-10fps more versus not I'd almost always pick "not". Or choose 3.0 or 2.8, wherever the compromise is happiest for your machine. All possible thru ThrottleStop (Forum)
Additionally, from the factory my 8750H was pushing 1.25V for full turbo 3.9GHz which QUICKLY let it hit temps in the 90C range or above. Fans ramped dramatically to keep up, and it was a losing battle. After a successful undervolt the same speed and reliability was achieved with only ~.94V and it knocked anywhere from 20-30C from the max temperature. Every chip and laptop will be different and only thru testing will you find if you can remove -.125mV or maybe -.200mV+ from the Core Voltage. Cache typically will not take quite as much as Core on these chips, but they can be offset.

But still, the GPU temp is really low when you know most laptops share heatpipes for CPU/GPU.

I did see that. Those GPU temps are like idle. I wonder if the laptop is actually just using the iGPU instead.

I think pubg runs like shit on intel igpu, if it runs at all on igpu.
I don't own and never played the game though.

For a laptop with a thin heatsink and high temps i'd try thermal grizzly hydronaut
This is a silicone free paste that should be a bit better against pumpout
