The newer Apple laptops run much hotter than older models.

Perform an SMC reset.

Run the Apple Diagnostics to make sure the cooling system is operating correctly.

You may have software installed on the laptop which is causing the laptop to run hotter as well. Run EtreCheck and post the report here using the "Additional Text" icon which looks like a piece of paper.
