First i had the Meross 3 way switch then it caught fire and melted half of the switch. Now I have the kasa 3 way switch and it’s feeling a bit warm but not hot like the meross switch.

Should I move the switches to a different location or am I SOL? The two switches are in the same electrical box one for the hall and another for the chandelier.

I would get a digital amp meter and ensure the current is within 80% of rating. If the switch is rated 15 amps, ensure your only loading it to 12 or less.
