Hi there,
Looks good, but it would be ideal to have your UVB more biased towards the hot side (eg move it more to the left in your picture) that way the highest heat and UVB are in one spot, the basking area.
Make sure you are using a digital thermometer with probe end to take your temps, don't rely on those stick on thermometers.

I'm using an infrared temp gun heard that was best. My issue is if I move the t5 fixture any closer to basking it blocks out most of the heat from basking bulb. So im thinking I should go with a mercury vapor bulb for basking. Just wanna make sure that won't be to much uvb first

In this 40 gallon tank should I run a mercury vapor bulb with the t5 uvb ? Is this the best option to have uvb in the whole tank?
You don't need an MVB, your setup is fine how it is. I just typically have the heat lamp a little bit forward so that the UVB bulb can be directly beside it. But in your setup, that plastic strip on the screen prevents that.
