Zenbook S16 UM5606WA runs too hot while plugged in, and keyboard question

So I got my Zenbook S16 UM5606WA about a week ago and I love it, but it just runs too hot while plugged in. Doing the same tasks I do while on battery, make the zenbook way too uncomfortable to use on my lap, and of course it is a laptop so then what is the point.

The heat is coming from the bottom vents. I made sure that while plugged in, and on battery that the laptop is in balanced mode. Fans work fine. Is there anything I can do? Everything is updated. I am not doing anything intense, watching youtube with some chrome tabs open. Even the CPU temps aren't anything too crazy, usually mid 60's, but the heat that come out of the vents is insane!

 

Also, why can't I set the the keyboard backlight to dim automatically after some time? I want to use it at night, but when I am watching a video or something, the keyboard should dim after awhile! This worked fine on my vivobook, why not here??

 

Besides that, and a little mushy keyboard, I love the laptop. Wonder if these 2 things can be fixed.

Hi, I have the same laptop and I found another strange problem: with the last bios version (308) when I enter bios the bottom of the chassis becomes very very hot, using only the battery. If I exit and rebooting the temperature returns normal. Besides there are other little issues not heating related.
