Some people only use ambient heat. Meaning, they heat the entire snake room to around 28/29 Celsius and then provide heat mat for the species that need a warmer hotspot or are gravid, etc.

So I don't think you are running overly hot.

Can you find some kind of clay pot to use as a hide? Like a clay flowerpot? They can make GREAT hides. They mimic what is used in the wild, to get into a dark, tight and also more humid area. If you keep the clay pot filled with a bit of moist moss or substrate and then also mist / wet the clay pot itself, it will be several degrees cooler and also more humid. And if that is what your snake craves, she will go in there.

Back when I used clay pots I would score the edge a bit and then carefully break a piece off with a hammer. Just enough so the snake has a opening to get into. You can also enlarge the opening on top of the clay pot and use that as the entrance. Make sure the hole on top is big enough for the snake to fit through, or to small for it to try and get stuck. Fill it in with something if its questionable. If you remove a piece of clay to make a side entrance, use sandpaper to smooth out the edges.

I have broken a few pots trying to make hides , but they are cheap, and usually I got a few good ones. They are great as humid/cooler/darker hides. Keep misting it and keep the moss/substrate moist.

Could there be another reason she is stressed? How old is she? How long have you had her for? Has she previously been eating/acting fine? How have you set her up, how big is the cage, does she have privacy, hides, etc etc
