Those temperatures are fine. Auratus are among those that can tolerate cooler temperatures, even to the high 50's at night. Although at the these lower temps, they will not move until they warm up during the day. Also the soil and water will retain a bit more heat than you may be measuring mid tank. During the day, it will also be warmer up near the lights. So you are actually probably getting temperatures above what you are measuring, in different locations. If you are comfortable in a room in your shirtsleeves, chances are, the frogs are too.
