Over heating Unicorn HD

Having an Interesting problem with 2 Unicorn Hat HDs
Both of them are getting REALLY hot like… over 200F hot. Don’t think the intent is to be able to boil water with them…
I have reached out for support from Adafruit and Pimoroni and both have simply stopped responding to my emails.

The heat seems to be coming from the ARM processor on the back of the boards.
I have checked, double checked, and triple checked to make sure the only part of the Hat touching the Pis is is the GPIO pins.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
I’d really like to get these working again, as the unicorn HD is the only 16x16 RGB matrix that is small enough for the project I’m working on.
