Mosfets make lots of heat! You now have that heat load as well as your NB + SB heat in your loop!

It is perfectly normal. If you increase the PWM Freq from 500 to 1000, you will notice even more heat.

Do you have any clearance issue with the EK-FB-RE3 and your first PCIE x16 slot lock? Mine is very tight.
