ryzen 3700x EDC at 80-90%, no idea how to fix this, it shoots to 80-90% when i play any video game. I even put my power plan on amd ryzen balance.

It's not a bad thing, it just is what it is as the CPU goes about doing what it does. It only means it's hitting 90% of an artificially low limit. EDC is a setting intended to limit the maximum current drawn on the VRM for short periods, but it's set really low by default. You can increase the limit by enabling PBO and increasing it to whatever you want. All it will do is lower the percentage of EDC you're seeing, not decrease the actual current drawn.

i've asked this question before but im still nervous, when i stream and record while playing league of legends or any video game the EDC level shoots to red at 90% and sometimes goes over, what will this do to my pc? will it shut off my pc etc. If that is the case how do i fix it
