I put her back into her 40 gallon temps weren't high enough I will get a 150 watt bulb and then move her and see how it goes from there

Looking at the distance from the lights and, the fact that your (often incorrect) thermometer and, it's location...... I would say that the temperatures were close to right.
You will need to get an IR Heat gun to check temps or a digital probe type thermometer. Those spring type thermometers can be off as much as 20°+/- .
You could also raise the basking area about 3" if you want because the screen top you have will cut the UVB by 20% +/- .

I was using the ir and my beardi seemed a bit tired I belive it wasnt hot enough I will see what I can do to fix it thanks for the response moved her to her 40 gallon and seems happier I will have to do some more testing I think I will just use a mvb 160 watt powersun shes using a 100 watt mvb and seems to enjoy it

You have to take into consideration that relocation stress will be a factor as well. The fact that he was moved into a strange new world, full of new dangers (to him..... We know that there are none) and things unfamiliar to him. He will act lazy or lethargic for a while until he gets used to his new home. Your setup was fine and, I personally wouldn't use an mvb on my dragons.
BTW how old is your dragon?

5 months I belive she was small when I got her I've been using mvb all her life and shes been healthy I had a dragon before her about 3 years ago and also used mvb and was healthy aswell but had to sell him I've had her 3 months and 2 days here are the pics
