Makes sense it would happen when the GPU is being maxed out. Sounds like a bad mount or caused by uneven pressure on the heatsink. If it's new I would send it back for a replacement, you could try fixing it yourself but you will just end up voiding the warranty and risk breaking it, not worth it when you have a warranty.

RMA and avoid MBA perhaps. Maybe the card has a crap mount like the 7900XTX MBA's were having.

Sopme 6950XT's were v v dodgy even AiB ones, the 7900XT's I've seen so far have been fine.

Seems like there's a looseness to the heatsink then and it's coming away from the core v slightly when upright. Mention it for sure when you RMA it.

The edge temp and junction temp shouldn't be more than roughly 15 degrees apart at the most. Anymore usually means a poor thermal paste job. I would RMA that card on the spot. It's an easy fix if it doesn't void your warranty but for most people it will so don't bother.
