A cooler mounted in the front bumper/valence area is dramatically more effective than anything mounted in a fenderwell. I am confident your oil temp is fine. It's hard to get much above 184F with such a setup. This is the temperature the thermostat opens and sends oil to the front cooler. It should also be about equal to the temperature that you indicated you show on the gauge.
In the winter, none of my cars gets hot enough to open the thermostat to send oil to the front cooler, in normal driving. The cooler on the engine, coupled with the air from the fan, is more than enough to cool the engine.
You have no problem.
