Should the heat sink be covering these?
I just noticed that the heatsink isn't covering these 2 chips,
is there a heat sink that would fix that?

This series only uses a single heat sink pad
What is confusing you is the 15" which has a dual pad design for the discrete GPU chip. These other chips are the PCH & I/O chips which don't run that hot.

I mean it seems like the GPU on here would have a good pad
@beanman56 - The 2011 & 2012 - 13" Uni's use the Intel intergraded graphics engine. The older 2009 & 2010 had a NVIDIA GeForce GPU which was intergraded within the PCH chip. From 2012 onward all of the 13" retina series all use the Intel intergraded graphic services! The Apple M models use Apples SoC graphics.
The 15" models mostly had either NVIDIA or ATI then as part of AMD. Apple did offer a slightly cheaper version of 15" models which only used the Intel graphics within the 2013 & 2014 & 2015 years. Scan though this listing MacBook Pro's Note the DG & IG codes within these years that's what that means: Intergraded - IG or Discrete - DG
@danj - Alright Thanks! :D
