I finished pasteurization and am wondering if I should give the mead time to cool down before adding chitozan and kiselsol or does it just not matter

Welcome to WMT!

I have never made mead or pasteurized my wine so I can't answer your question - when I use kieselsol and chitosan, it has always been at room temperature.
 
Welcome to WMT ,,, meads are nice ,,, and I haven’t had to pasteurize a mead. (YET) Cider at 5% alcohol is less stable so I would pasteurize a cider.

Chitosan will come out of solution if it is frozen. When I have pasteurized my target was 60C which isn’t that far from poor warehouse or unventilated garage as 45C.

60C / 140F shouldn’t hurt.
