With the drop, it almost sounds like a heatpipe got jarred from it's seal on either the CPU or a graphics chip. Reminds me of a laptop I had where the heat transfer pad between heatpipe and GPU broke down, leaving a very small gap between contact.

Not sure. I remember deconstructing it to try to find the issue and couldn't find any. Then again, I didn't look very hard.
If it helps, the Laptop is a Sager 8130 (a base model in the link below).

I agree with your hypothesis though. It seems likely that the heat pipe to the bottom fans were jarred, so they don't do any work, forcing the back ones to compensate.
