A lot of us tape the probe to the pad underneath the glass. Then set the temp on the thermostat to whatever temp it takes to give you a reading of about 83 to 87 degrees inside the "warm hide." You're never going to be able to heat a large area or the entire cage with a reptile heat pad, they are not designed for that. They are designed to heat "a spot" in this case, the spot directly over the heat pad. You warm side Hide should be directly above it.
For a point of reference, I have to set my thermostat to 91 in the summer and about 95 in the winter to maintain a temp of 85 inside the warm hide. What it measure in the rest of the cage doesn't matter.
