The temp probe has to touch the cpu die. In this case, if the mylar (yellow) extends past the probe, you will not get a reliable temperature measurement: you're measuring the ambient air at ~1mm (or more) away from the CPU die.
Ref thermocouples.

In this case, if I can put the temp probe just like you said, will it reach more higher CPU temp because of better contact between the CPU die and temp probe? Let say 12C over the ambient temp.
