I'm currently repasting my EVGA 2060 KO Ultra because I was experiencing high hotspot temperatures. I used Arctic MX-7 for the application. Do you think I applied enough thermal paste, or did I go overboard?

That's a fair amount! I usually like to spread it thin with an edge of an old credit card or something similar. Just a thin layer will do the trick; no need to flood it. Easier to clean up later if it seeps out too!
Yep, you've got plenty of paste there. Just remember, if your GPU has a bare die with no heat spreader, you want to make sure it's evenly spread out to cover the whole surface. A little goes a long way, but you’ve got this!
You probably used a bit too much, but it should be fine! Just make sure to clean up any excess that squeezes out around the edges.
