That's a fine temp. I personally run 30C on my 4690K at idle with my H105 liquid cooler.
If you mount any cooler properly, you should see 10-15c. over ambient.

What do you mean about a middle screw? Is it missing?
You need it to apply pressure.

Also, too much paste acts as an insulator. A small drop will spread out under heat and pressure.
