Proper UVB Light distance?

I am looking to put a UVB light fixture inside of my beardie's terrarium. The light that I am planning on using is a Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB T5HO 22' fluorescent tube. By my measurements, the spot that I plan to put it should be 9-10 inches from my beardie's basking spot. I am not using any kind of reflector. Does this sound like a safe distance to put the light?

Thank you to any who respond.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
