Hello, welcome! As a new builder, your setup is perfectly okay. You can keep it as it is now.

Consider keeping it as is. Proceed with running it. The reference points the observed paste behavior.

Don't bother. Thermal paste isn't electrically conductive, so you have nothing to worry about. As a rule of thumb, it's always better to have too much rather than too little.
