Yes of course, the heat sink should to be resting on the cpu, in direct contact. The thermal paste fills (the microscopic gaps) between the two surfaces when they are in contact to enhance heat transfer from the IHS to the heat sink.

Average is about 12 c but the max just went up to 33 c watching twitch and on here i dont understand why it would be that high when with the stock coolere it would be max 15 c unless playing a game.

What 7 fans? Their should be an option for the CPU fan. Choose a target temperature for the CPU lower than the current temperature and see if it is going to work. And anyway your temperatures are very good but I know the reason you are worried is that you expected lower temperatures with the better cooler, which is only normal and now you are experiencing the opposite.
