PN5180 overheating

We have a custom PN5180 chip due to antenna size restrictions. The problem is that it worked and could read an NTAG, however after some time it stopped working and the chip was very hot.

I do not know whether the problem is in the wiring. Do we need a copper area below the chip? I attached the schematic and the pcb design (antenna size 27.6x27x6mm outer, antenna parameters attached)
