Can I use thermal glues when the gap between the LED PCB and aluminum enclosure is large?

I often use thermal pastes to help the heat sink dissipate the heat of the LED. But this time, there is a large gap between the LED PCB and aluminum enclosure. Are there other materials or methods I can use?

Thermal-conductive epoxy is a good choice to fill the gap. Its thermal conductivity can be 0.72, which is 100 times that of air.
You can also use the thermal pads. Even though they are not as effective as the thermal pastes, they can help fill the gap.
