This leads me to think that the radiator is okay and a lot less cooling is taking place where the fan isn't.
I can honestly say it’s ya thermostats rating , remove and place a lower rated thermostat in and your golden see it all the time when folk get sold 86 degree thermostats replace with a 76 degree and you will be fine 😎👍 also that’s going to cost you peanuts to try / resolve and a few mins of your time

Kind regards
