The oil cooler is just doing its job, but the thermostatic plate still allows oil to flow through otherwise if it opened all at once when it hit 180 degrees, you would get a shock of cold oil to the system which is not good. What temperatures have you been seeing? I have the same cooler as you and I see 160-170 degrees when cruising at 70 on a cooler day/night but that is about as low as it goes.
