Is your heat pad on a thermostat? That's rule number 1 and VERY important. ANY heat source needs to regulated by a thermostat.
If your belly heat is regulated and set to 92 degrees, that's good. The heat your seeing on a thermometer is the ambient air temperature. It will be lower than the surface of the tank. What are you using to measure your temperatures with?
That humidity is fine for now. When he sheds, you'll want to get it a little higher, but it will be okay for now.
Make sure he has two identical hides, one on the warm side and one on the cool side. They need to be big enough for him to get his whole body into, but not much bigger. Something with no bottom and just a hole/door big enough for him to get through is sufficient. The more closed in, the better he'll like it. The Large or xtra large hides from ReptileBasics are great.
The best thing you can do for him now, is leave him alone for a week or so. That will give him time to settle in and get used to his new surroundings. It's not too uncommon for adults to go off feed for a while. In addition, if their husbandry isn't in order, it may delay their feeding response as well. I'd get everything in check, leave him alone for 5-7 days (that's the hard part) and then maybe try offering him a meal. If he doesn't eat, maybe offer again every 10 days until he eats.
