New cages but need help figuring out how to heat

Hey guys. So my brother and I just got 2 used Companion Habitat Suncatcher cages for our pets and there seems to be a problem. The cages have 2 48 inch tube lights over each cage. I will be replacing one of each with the proper UV bulb.
There is a control unit underneath that runs heat, lights, and there is a blower control to circulate heat throughout the cage. But there is no actual heating element. I dont know how many of you are familiar with how these cages are designed but each section is on drawer slides. The lights are mounted to the frame of the housing and are stationary. There are no provisions for a heat/basking lamp and there is minimal room above each tank for a light fixture. I was thinking about using either Flexwatt or heater cable to give radiant/belly heat, but what can I do for basking? Has anyone worked with these cages before or modified them? As always, much appreciation.

I don't know how well heat strips work, but if they generate enough heat to replace a light bulb maybe mount them on top. That would prevent burns and solve the basking issue. The side would work too, if positioned correctly.

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
