If you haven’t installed the needed thermal sensor you’ll need to do that [https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIDIMACHDD11/|OWC In-line Digital Thermal Sensor for iMac 2011 Hard Drive Upgrade]. Using fanControl software doesn’t really work that well and your system will not last as long.
Your system likely needs a bit of dusk cleaning after we see the TG Pro snapshot we can get into wants needed.

+I don't see any issues with the thermal sensors. So SMC is encountering a different issue. I'm suspecting you damaged one of the ferrite beads (L5500 through L5531) near the sensor connectors on the logic board.
