Do I need to remove this excess thermal paste that squished out? Or can I leave it? (programming.dev)

Sorry for the horrible picture. It's hard enough to see with my eyes, let alone get a pic.

Imo that's an incredible picture. Could be ai it's so surreal.

    Thanks! It probably looks odd because of the lighting and angle. My room has an overhead light that's to the right, but I was using a magnetic flashlight to help on the left. Also, this is through a mesh panel. I think you can sort of tell if you look at the black heat sink (not the CPU one). It sort of gives a pattern over the image, but it's so out of focus you can't see it.
