I’ve shared your post in the AMD subreddit for some extra exposure.It's okay I'll keep engaging with the support team I'm sure they will be interested once they understand the issue.
In the meantime I will be sending it back and will keep my current XTX Merc Ultra.
Looks like it is expected as confirmed above by Amiga.

I've closed the support ticket with XFX as it's supposed to be at 95C as XFX and then later Amiga confirmed above that his Gigabyte 6900 XTXH has the same 95c limit for hotspot.
Why return the card if you managed to get the temp and voltage the way you want with the merc LT Edition would that not now allow you to push the card past the standard merc black ?
That sounds promising i am the same regarding pushing the card i probably wouldn't overclock the card either i think they really need to be watercooled to avoid damaging the card with higher than spec overclocks. As long as it runs well that's the main concern. I may reconsider returning itI'm probably not the best person to judge - I really have no interest in running such an expensive piece of silicon at 115'C
But it works fine for me: GPU Hotspot Temps peak at 88'C in Time Spy, card is stable, and framerates are as expected.
It's probably more of an issue if you are trying to push the boundaries further.
Only observation vs the previous Asus TUF RX 6900 is that the fans seem to be a bit noisier under load - that could be because of the higher boost clocks.
I got the voltage where I wanted it, but not the temperature. It really needs to be water-cooled to get the most from it so I will stick with the Ultra Edition Merc.

Yes, you could improve it with a lower temperature/higher fan speed.
I already maxed out the fans of both my GPU and case intake fans. The temps are a bit high but its not throttling. The thing is I did this benchmark with 2600 MHz maximum frequency, however whenever I push it anything further than 2600 it just crashes. Like 2610 MHz crashes. So I guess this is all I will get from this card.
