High idle temps on secondary M.2 slot - ASUS TUF F15 FX506H (GM7 NVMe, Sensor 2 60°C)

Hi, I've been testing Nobara Linux a bit and I have a question about the temperatures of my secondary NVMe drive, which is the one running Nobara. When idle, sensor 1 reads 40° and sensor 2 reads 60°, and under load, they don’t go above 47° and 68°, respectively. I also tried running in ECO mode, but the temperature didn’t drop much; in Turbo mode, it usually drops to 55°. I just want to know if that temperature on sensor 2 is normal or if there’s anything I can do to improve it besides adding a heatsink, since I had a problem with another NVMe drive that reached almost 90° while idle on a different Linux distribution. My current NVMe is a Predator GM7. I also noticed that my laptop model, the Asus TUF F15 FX506H, has ventilation issues in the bay where that NVMe is installed.
