will clamshell mode damage my built in screen?

I have a 2019 13'' Macbook pro, and while using photo editing apps or playing games it can get quite hot. I want to use it in clamshell mode but am afraid that the heat will damage the built-in screen, could someone confirm or deny if it will damage my screen due to heat?

the back of the screen of my macbook air m2 getting hot I'm living in a city which reaches temperatures of 35 º to 40º degrees celsius. and the back of my laptop's screen gets too warm when the display brightness reaches 50% or more, is it normal or not ? although i have used many macbooks in the same condition but I have never experienced the same thing ( 13' mbp 2015, 13' mbp 2017, 13' mbp 2011 ) I don't know if it's a common problem among new macbook m2 airs, or the problem is in my computer.

Overheating Hi there! Recently, I have edited a video in Premiere Pro and my MacBook air got pretty hot. It was probably hot for 30 mins - 1 hour as I was constantly editing. However, I think there's more projects that will require me to work in Premiere Pro and I fear that it getting hot will bring damage to the battery and to the laptop itself. How dangerous is overheating/a hot macbook?
