Temp issue on new motor?

I had posted about installing a rebuilt to 3.6 LN block into my car. I thought I had all the bases covered. New 170 degree stat, new pump, improved engine compartment fan, Center Front radiator, new hoses. This week end we had the first temp over ninety. In a twenty minute traffic drive the engine temp was over 200 sitting in traffic, easily 1/2 way between 180 and 225 lines on the gauge out side air was 98. Maybe this is normal but I've never had a temp more than a line thickness over the 180 mark.

It gets worse, on the way home I threw a P2098 code. Bank 2 sensor 2 lean trim mix.
Snap shot
Bank 1 sensor 1, 15%
Bank 2 sensor 1, 14.7%
Bank 1 sensor 2, 5%
Bank 2 sensor 2 -3.1%
water temp 198
2980 RPM
Throttle actual 12%

Reset the code and checked the bank 2 sensor and cable with no real issue. I ran 50 miles the next afternoon in 95 degree temp no traffic I had a couple of times were there was a hesitation but it did not set a code . I ran 75 mile this morning. Cooler in traffic and the temp outside was only 80. No hesitation no code still.

Do I have a temperature problems or a sensor failing? If its Temperature what do I do additionally That I already did not do.
