Alphacool Eiswolf 2 for 3080 Strix - Padding are not touching Waterblock

Hello,

I bought an Alphacool Eiswolf 2 for my Asus ROG Strix 3080. I noticed that I get a very high Memory Junction VRAM temperature when playing very demanding games at Ultra quality.

I saw other threads in this forum about this issue and noticed that the 1mm pads on the front are not thick enough for contact between the components and the waterblock, and the 2 mm pads on the back side are making somewhat of an indent between the backplate and the components.

Front side of the GPU Board:

Please kindly advise on how this can be resolved.
