That should be the desert type, i think the tropical bulbs are 5%
Your screen is fine mesh, it will block a significant amount of the uvb, but it looks like your beardie can get pretty close with your setup so you should be ok there. With that screen your beardie needs to be able to get within 8 inches of the bulb. The other option would be to mount it under the screen. Then with that bulb it would need 12 to 15 inches.

Please do be careful with the crickets, they will sometimes chew holes in beardies at night, they are vicious.

the rock on the left side is exactly 8 inches from the bulb, and the basking side is about 7 inches from the light

Yeah we left them in with her last night but every other night we have taken them out ( will do so again tonight ) and the nights we did leave them in , we gave them fruits, veggies and wheat chow to eat instead of her but even then i didnt feel okay about it.

Lol I've worried myself into crawling out of bed in the middle of the night to go and make sure they weren't getting my babies. You'll soon find nothing can make you worry more than a beardie lmao 🤣

Once you get you setup on point everything else kindda falls in place. It is likely as simple as hdo said and is relocation stress, and/or shedding, your setup is in pretty good shape, i don't think there is any issues there.
