My Challenger is also an Manual R/T 2015. I just had an issue where I noticed steam coming through the hood after temp rose to 210 degrees. Coolant smell was pronounced but could not see where the leak was coming from. That said the steam was coming from the radiator area. Few small coolant puddles were around the pet cock are but when I pressurized the radiator I cannot get it to leak. Do you think this the radiator?

Yep. Especially if you saw coolant around that petcock drain area. I still have a faint smell on hot days when I park the car in the garage after I'm driving it. I think I might actually replace that Dorman radiator again, and get a genuine Mopar one this time. I would also look into replacing that drive shaft intermediate bushing, they make two-piece ones will replace the original rubber unit.

Do you think the water pump is the cause for the car getting overheated

Not at all. New waterpump and radiator, car is still running at 208-212. It's the missing under panels causing the warmer temps.
