I live in the southeast if that's any help. And could it be I'm not being patient enough. Like if I give the enclosure proper time the Temps will even out more. I know they won't do it themselves but with such a small enclosure you would think if the basking spot and humidity are correct that the ambient would be too
I have no idea what a standard bedroom temperature in the southeast is! I live in the northeast, and my bedroom can be 55 in the winter or 90+ in the summer depending on the weather and the time of day. If your bedroom is 60 degrees, you need more wattage in heat sources to get the temp up to 80 than if your bedroom is 75.

Yes, it will take a little while for the temperature to equalize. But if it doesn't get to where you need it and insulating it doesn't either, you'll have to add an additional heat source.
