Are uneven CPU core temps due to bad thermal paste application?

Hi guys, I recently got my T14s G3 AMD R7 6850u and did some benchmark tests today.
I noticed that core 3 and core 5 are always ~20C hotter than all other cores under stress / full load.
E.g. in PCMark10:

Core 0 - 75C
Core 1 - 73C
Core 2 - 78C
Core 3 - 100C
Core 4 - 79C
Core 5 - 98C
Core 6 - 78C
Core 7 - 69C

Should I remove the OEM thermal paste and do a re-paste or is this an issue I can't fix? Is it even a real issue?
Thanks!

You probably should be contacting lenovo support, the max temp is 95C on that processor.
