I tested it and added a tiny extra touch on the right side of the paste. Should this be fine? Are your motherboard and CPU safe from shorts? Your cooling stays solid between 26-32°C when idle and 68°C during heavy use like gaming. I started with a small pea dot, then halved it, which is why the result looks a bit uneven, but the actual paste layer is about 0.6cm thick in Hyper 212 EVO Black RGB.

It should work as long as it isn't located on the side of the CPU.

It's impossible to confirm with certainty without removing the heatsink, which is why I sought advice from seasoned professionals who can assess the requirements.

It ranges from just enough to excessive, but it doesn’t really matter much. Your appearance seems okay.
