I really don't recommend liquid metal TIM for your MacBook.
Yes, liquid metal is able to transfer heat a bit better than ceramic or diamond TIM. I've found Arctic Silver is just fine without the risks.
These exotic metal compounds have risks! Getting onto the logic board can destroy it. I've replaced two after someone messed up.
I would recommend you re-think your usage as a laptop is not able to perform as well as a desktop when running heavy processes.
I would recommend you be more aggressive in keeping your system dust free. Running a good thermal sensor & fan monitoring app like [https://www.tunabellysoftware.com/tgpro/|TG Pro]. TG Pro also allows you to ramp up the fan (turbo) just before you run your system hard.

Even with the best TIM, the limiting factor is conversion of the heat into the air stream and then exhausting it out. Make sure the fan and the fins are clean, and your haven't blocked the keyboard and back side of your system.

As you can see here, there is no fan or cooling system
