Dark matter may be just normal matter that we can’t see because it’s too cold, WIMPs are not the only candidate for dark matter, if anything they are the weakest one currently since we’ve been finding more and more brown dwarfs and even massive ones.

I think the conventional explanation is that there are way too few lensing observations for normal matter to be anywhere near enough. You might read a news article that says there is 30% or 10 times more regular matter than we thought, but it's such a small baseline it doesn't make much difference to the big picture.
