Depends on what you want to cool.

Something like engines, which produces "normal" heat? --> This scales mainly off of sheer size of the part, not off of something in the config file. Use TweakScale, which you appear to have. Also, I don't know if emissiveConstant in the config file can grow above 1.0... but if it can, then increasing that will help.

Something like ISRU, which produces "core" heat? --> increase maxEnergyTransfer.

@PART[radPanelSm]:FINAL
{
	@emissiveConstant = 0.90		// 1.00 would be the physical maximum, but in a game, maybe it can go above
	@MODULE[ModuleActiveRadiator]
	{
		@maxEnergyTransfer = 2500	// This is the value you see ingame, times 50
	}
}
