Very normal.
The main thing is the diodes that measure CPU temperature are in a different location. It's only natural that your CPU core temp would be higher.

The sensor for the radiator is probably in the fan, so it's actually measuring the air that is flowing through the fan.

if it was hotter it would be unable to dissipate the cpu heat as fast as the cpu was generating it, in fact it would be HEATING the cpu not cooling it

There is no perfectly 100% conductive material in the world, so of course the radiator is going to be a bit cooler. And the radiator is actively dissipating the heat while the CPU is generating it.
