Are using a Herpstat? If so lower it to 80% Power and lower the Temp to 86. You should then have a Hot Spot if 88/90 and will lower your cool side to 80/81 not running the RHP on 100% power. Thats what I've been playing with for 2 weeks now.
Check the top of the Hide for Hot temp not the floor. You will get 2 degrees higher on top of that so you can lower you Tstat a couple degress.
I think Most prefer 88/89 better anyways.. Every snake ive owned leaves a 91 degree hot spot.

Not familure with them. Id bring it down to 86 and in a hour check the top of the hot hide. The hides are a Oven so the snake measures the temp of the top of the hotb hide when they are in there. In return your cool side will go down some.

Also sometimes it will run 1-2 degrees warmer in the middle of night cause when the house drops the RHP runs more and in return heats the hot spot a little more... ... There are a lot of people that run 86-89 for Retics. If I remember correctly Sauzo does that too. In my experience none of my snakes like to Cook and will leave if top of Hot hide is over 91.
(Thats floor around 88.3)

I keep all my snakes with a 88F hot spot and 77-79F cool/ambient. 85F ambient is pretty hot for a retic.

Im sure the Helix is fine once you dial in.. I think if you get the Hot Hide to 88/89 max your cool side will be ok. Just takes a bit for it to get cool and regulate. I sit there and stair sometimes like its going to happen within minutes hahahah. My wife & kids look at me like I'm a nut looking at nothing hHahahahahaha
