That is the proper coolant and mixture ratio.
I would probably not do a Citrus flush.
Make sure the radiator is extra clean externally, if it is all plugged up with dirt (the fins)...it will pass very little air....and will not dissipate heat well at all. I had this issue on my car but I just replaced the radiator since it was the original.....the new one + new coolant dropped my temps massively....and now it never gets much over 85C no matter what.
