Upper radiator hose running hot

Upper radiator hose running hot

Not sure if it’s performing normally or if there could be contaminants in the radiator system that I need to flush thats causing that hose to not get coolant properly. Have a makeshift plug on the left side until the part comes in Monday but when I drive it around the block the line becomes quite hot very quickly. Should I do a flush of all the fluids with something to break down contaminants. Is it normal?

Radiator/radiator hose questions

Radiator has a part on the right passenger side that blew off and I’m not sure what this goes to. Thought it was to the coolant reservoir but it has a hose. (Seen in pic #1 underneath the part that blew off.) (pic #3 shows the location on the radiator to where it’s at) Any Volvo heads that can tell me what part it goes to? I found a forum online about the radiator assembly but I’m not sure if it goes to some part of the block? Just wanna order the right part kinda broke at the moment after I bought it lol.
