This suggests that your temperatures are too high.

So, temps are too hot, you've got the AC on so you claim temps are now too low (my corns eat outside their bins/tanks at my room temperature even in winter... which is 65 degrees and I doubt that's how cold your house is) And then you stick a lamp close to her that is going to get massively too hot. Temperature shock.

and then she opened her mouth after me trying to get her to eat it ( i was kinding forcing it in her face constantly and she was just kind of backing away and running) and then just bite the dust...

Also known as a fairly sure-fire method to make a hatchling NOT want to eat because you have turned yourself AND the mouse into scary monsters.

... i even opened her mouth and tossed her around a bit and nothing. So i figured what the heck, i should try and get some experince poppin snakes before i get my other baby corns and i popped her but i did it hard being she was dead.

It can take a while to confirm a snake is dead. Tossing a snake around is liable to damage it. Popping 'hard' doesn't give you experience popping. You need to learn the correct pressure so you start light and then go more firm until you find the right strength to use. You still don't know how to pop now as applying too much pressure can result in the hemipenes not appearing as you're basically crushing them.

I can assure you she was dead but now alive...

No you can't. You're not a vet and you didn't wait long enough and you probably had her so overheated she was in shock.

You have injured your snake due to careless actions. Your temps are likely not correct, your methods of 'encouraging' her to feed are only going to further your snake's lack of desire to eat, and now you have damaged her only route for the elimination of bodily waste products.
THESE are the problems we have.
