LAPTOP OVERHEATING. The fans were always on and were noisy. PLEASE READ

In the last 2 photos my Mac is open and the display is ready to use and you can see the case snapping here to secure it, it covers most of the vents. So I can't figure out what the heck is going on with my new Mac. As soon as I opened a video with another tab, it started overheating and the fans started running very loud! I've tried literally everything: deleting apps, fixing settings, clearing caches. FINALLY I took a look at the rear vent area where the heat is expelled and saw that the bottom of the case snaps into place at either end of said holes, OH MY GOD. Right where the fans are, they're basically blocking the air outlet and causing overheating! I deleted it over a month ago and have never heard fans react so aggressively again. IDK whether or not this damaged my laptop, but I'm sorry I found out.
