Looks perfect to me. Eventhough it may look very thin that is how it is supposed to be. You can also see on the cooler that there was overflow. The space between the heatsink and the CPU should be extremely small if the correct amount of mounting pressure was applied, and the thermal paste is supposed to be there just to fill the microscopic gaps.There is no harm in applying more thermal paste than necessary (as long as it is not electrically conductive). I also like to apply enough for it to overflow to be sure there is enough. Never had a problem that way (and I've also replaced thermal paste of GPUs which are much more sensitive to not having enough due to direct die cooling)
