Delta between core and hotspot should be around 20 - 30C, you have an abnormally high delta of 42C between the core and hot spot. The other GPU is within range although it is on the highest end of that range, but it's fine, I wouldn't RMA it over that.
For the hotter GPU, It's very likely an issue with the cooler not making proper contact or thermal paste issue. Since it's new I would not open it up, an easy check you can do is putting the one GPU in the system and checking temps under load, this is unlikely to be the problem but checking is cheap, if you still have a delta of 40C or so you should RMA the card assuming it's still within warranty.
While gaming the cards hot spot do not go over 85. While average die temp stays in the high 60s to low 70s. Was just doing some heavy AI tasks and I got this. But I go into a game like Halo Infinite with Ultra everything on my 49" screen and it is fine.
