Nobody has asked you about the other nuances of your cooling system as an avenue to help with your overheating, but go ahead and reverse the fan as a hopeful first step. If that suffices, fine. If not, many of us have tales of what works for us if you need further suggestions. Keep us posted!

Easy to remember: put the fans on so that they "cup" over the water pump pulley.

That fan is on backwards. I would try reversing it before trying any other fans or rads.

Make sure you fit the plastic blade the right way, the smoother moulded center faces the engine, which might look wrong to some people.
