Default Oil Coolers and Over cooling

For those of us with oil coolers, I hope you know what I'm talking about. I know the simple solution is to build some sort of shroud. However, all these thermostatic plates state that they only open at 180+ but clearly that isn't the case. Is there any way to adjust the plates so that it doesn't slowly trickle oil to the cooler causing overcooling? I'm doing an oil change soon and the plate will be readily accessible, building a shroud just seems like another headache albeit a simple one.
