What do I do???

So my beardie has been like this since May. She's always cooped up in her cave every day, and if I let her I'm sure she would stay there if I never took her out physically and eat . also she is eating much LESS. I went to the vet to figure out these odd behaviors and it turns out she had parasites and was impacted. Both of which are solved now and shouldn't be a problem. But why is she still hiding??? I don't know why. I've been taking her outside to get natural sunlight for maximize uvb so she won't get mbd. The vet told me if she keeps up with this behavior that I should go back and they will do blood work. So what should I do???
40 gallon tank
Basking temp: 101 degrees UVB TYPE : reptisun 10.0 tube with reflector. About 8-9 inches away from basking spot on top of fine mesh. So she is getting to Bask and uvb at the same time.
Gradients: hot side- 83 degrees cool side- 80 degrees.
Humidity 55
Bearded dragon length: 12 inches and is 7 months old
On a side note is her basking branch too small for her now? Is it too hard for her to get to?

So if you take the middle piece of decor and place it under the UVB what is the distance to the UVB? The distance from that UVB can be anywhere 12-15 inches it does not haft to be by the basking light - as of right now its 7 inches on the cave side correct? So if the distance in the middle of the tank is 12-15 inches thats good w/ that little piece of decor you have would work --- and at this point shes not basking on the cave at all correct?

So the temple decor piece is 10 and a half from the uvb light when I put it under it. But when it's under the heating light, it's 13 inches away, but it's not under the uvb, its diagonal since it's under the heat lamp.

Ok leave as is and lets see what she does ---- I want your dragon out basking she has me stumped as to why she is not --- as long as she can get under the UVB its got a reflector on it so she still should get the rays too even tho its diagonal

Ok , also if it would be better , tomorrow I can put her hammock under the uvb light about 12 inches under it, and keep her temple where it's at and move her cave to the cool side. Would that be acceptable?
